Legal & General’s general insurance business posted a 90% combined ratio for the first half of 2011.

The ratio was flat compared with the same period last year, but a 16-point improvement over the loss-making 106% it reported for the full year of 2010.

L&G attributed the improvement to a return to more normal weather conditions. The insurer’s second half 2010 result was hit by winter weather claims.

The division’s operating profit increased 21% to £17m (H1 2010: £12m) on the back of a 9% rise in gross written premiums to £146m (H1 2010: 134m).
