Financial Performance
Specialty insurer and reinsurer, IQUW, has announced its financial results for the year ending 31 December 2024, reporting a combined operating ratio of 83.3% and gross written premium (GWP) growth of 22%. 2024’s combined ratio was slightly higher compared to the 80.9% reported in 2023. This year’s $1.1 billion in gross written premiums marks the fourth consecutive year of growth since IQUW was launched in 2021.

“I am delighted with our results and the growth across our chosen areas of expertise as we continue to build a diverse, multi-line specialty portfolio,” said IQUW Chief Executive Officer, Peter Bilsby. He continued: “Our results and trajectory are a reflection of IQUW’s fast-moving, nimble and empowered team, our growing lead capability and the development of our service proposition – I am thankful to our brokers for their continued support and partnership.”
