what happened
Definity Financial's third-quarter premiums rose 36.2% to CAD 1.7 billion, according to TradingView. Catastrophe losses, however, lifted the combined ratio to 100.6%, meaning claims and operating costs in the quarter exceeded the premiums earned. Integration of Travelers is moving forward, and the expected synergies are progressing. Full-year premium and investment-income outlooks remain strong.
why it matters
For investors, the key question is whether Travelers synergies can offset rising claims from large catastrophes. A combined ratio above 100% means an underwriting loss, so the trend in this metric over the coming quarters will matter.
