Please BMO. Thank you. Zaremski And from next our question go with ahead. today Mike comes

your statements we any believe us you renewals? the midyear impacting times provide let mentioned if Ceding updated remarks. you in Great. color I the financial commissions the of prepared on one a and couple that continue know reinsurance to expect if and Can into side, improving.

seen Yes, side. Mike, Yes, the property the improved this on but also side, question. commissions driven have ceding primarily is Jim pro we the rata Williamson. casualty Thanks for on

when talking January ceding when we improved renewal, call, we the giving talk were our indications remember, and about on we about a Now basis. X it quarter mentioned we’re commissions, in you fourth written

so and And because and quarter, attractive. repeat in We we’ve found commissions said X is point a had be commissions seen them ceding pretty less than casualty we what I little lean. ceding last it, would improvement that about that relatively mainly already properties, on were to property,

So basis. that’s written a on

really going in Now over reflected about other similar that’s you’re the financials. years, to pro that made, to take when we’ve that that be for time, it time takes particularly X to rata the premium talking comments earns

So we expect to the coming you but to started yet, emerge haven’t it quarters. really over that see

Okay. there Is of major That’s beginning optimism of the there, beginning this about seeing and – the some can in helpful. about are Also another primaries clearly a you simply inflation. elaborate we’re because stages a reinsurance maybe rates property kind follow-up in why up lot, stages. cost a their lot of the replacement is on go correction, prepared the side remarks, of the the

themselves the why So to a that seeing – growth curve? partners of if your of being are ahead kind attractive so the what primaries ahead you see as inflation get issue And there? getting of primary or behind are see you bit of – trying being do an some

Andrade. this Mike, is Juan Yes.

frankly, we as ask starts Karmilowicz capacity I’ll being and this you it in to supply and Let reinsurance, less structural then have of by think things, something supply that deployed the So right? property all and Mike demand Look, on me I essentially imbalance, insurance both place taking cat, well. do fact that’s start with companies. on the answer have add to rated a side

pressure all is ILS have putting lived is which And together, and inflation demand inflation, that there have side, market. issues coming have right? values, we’ve upward all volatility other the capital into social less in also things. the the through You the of on You on we environment, the

to partners more reinsurance those So our ceding requiring insurance, are basically more lines. along buy

imbalance, part So and what demand really equation. think, is that structural begins supply the I of

we see about have which pricing maybe XXXX reinsurance, a in Now beyond. has through from attractive and that very on talked what is we seen expect Jim property to perspective, the January X, side

On we’re things. the primary the same side, seeing basically

in the XXs. now XX, getting definitely on teens a seeing seeing retail We’re we keeping mind wholesale both property into right? a are rates it’s you’re And wholesale, that. have of equation. we in sides the plus So that basically rate and up if high both the you’re And channel, in that

the Insurance of had not you from the side. also of loss that don’t $X reasons cat perspective, segment. the that why us our from insurance us. up we of It’s one events in for makes picking in of see derisking the Basically, losses So side keep the lot spring in reinsurance million U.S. the also a business, been sense have Also mind we our just

significant increases side. seeing So we are pretty rate the primary on

have middle and retail moved market more towards has to continued de-risk our strategy property else. We and anything than

can things, Mike, add makes these us. a more... it you I of all is So fairly maybe But attractive for few think, what

would the in push to time, Mike, the a I in concentration that. No, we’ve conditions, add the to zones, we I the retail particularly wholesale said, zones, other One, to Juan. comments, the cat just of the been able out risk, same deemphasize particularly continue market. peak I that’s of well prone side. given market think guess At Sure. on continue couple to the

out basically now we’ve that, with In expansion. our with international do we work addition actually foundational our to helping

over lot that balance overall and consistent the better that spreading more now out us We’re returns and and sustainable diversifying giving our the across globe, risk-adjusted are more long portfolio haul. a
