(Reuters) - Commercial insurer Hiscox (LON:HSX) on Wednesday posted a rise in premiums written for the first nine months of the year, helped by strong demand in its retail segment.
London-listed Hiscox, which underwrites a range of risks from natural catastrophes to cyber attacks to kidnappings and art theft, said gross premiums written climbed 6.8% to $3.76 billion in the nine months ended Sept. 30.
