Commenting on the results, Ken Randall, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer said: "Our Lloyd's and non-USA run-off businesses continue to deliver good results.

"The claims run-off within our US subsidiaries has tended to be more volatile but the agreement reached with the Ace group as to a framework for the resolution of all outstanding legal disputes removes this source of uncertainty for the Group.

He added that "the deal pipeline remains very active".
