Aspen Insurance Holdings today declared first a quarter net income of $70.1m (£36.5m), 21% less than $85.0m (£44.3m) for the same period the year before.

Gross written premiums for the period were $804.1 (£418.9m), compared to $640.2 (£333.4m) in the first quarter of last year, an increase of 26%.

First quarter combined ratio was reported as 81%.
