For the 2025 financial year, the Club achieved a combined ratio of 99.6%, in line with its mutual ethos of providing insurance 'at cost' to its Members. The Club has seen an increase in premium earned during the year of 2.2%, taking gross earned income to US$ 306.9m. The Club’s underwriting business benefited from a strong competitive position which delivered this steady growth in premium whilst still maintaining the Club’s underwriting discipline.
The strong return on the Club’s investment portfolio was a key contributor to year-end net assets reaching US$ 530.7m. This strong capital position, which is reflected in the Club’s A rating (stable outlook) from Standard & Poor’s, leaves the Club well placed to continue to provide high quality, well priced P&I insurance to its Members into 2026 and beyond.
