Aspen Insurance Holdings Ltd

In many ways, Aspen Insurance Holdings’ main achievement in 2007 was to match (in a much more difficult underwriting environment) the previous years’ underwriting profit of $295.1mn. This enabled a very strong performance on the investment front (in the form of a 46.3% increase in net investment income to $299.0mn) and net foreign exchange gains of $20.6mn to significantly enhance the company’s net profit result from $378.1mn in 2006 to $489.0mn in 2007

Aspen Insurance Holdings had a better year in 2007 than most other companies writing a global portfolio of specialty insurance and reinsurance business.
