Group results

Our 2019 results were impacted by heavy natural catastrophe losses, our decisive management actions to reposition Corporate Solutions and increased claims in US casualty. On the other hand, we delivered an excellent investment result and strong performance in L&H Re, demonstrating the power of our diversified business model.
