This S&P rating therefore provides a much wider view of the Club's financial health than the more generic measures such as free reserves per ton.

Despite a small number of large claims notified to the Club towards the end of the year, a decent underwriting result and strong performance within the investment markets have enabled the Club to record a surplus for the ninth year in a row.
