US property/casualty (p/c) insurers could make their first underwriting profit in 2003, for 25 years, according to an expert assessing first-quarter performance.

But worrying trends in claims frequency and severity need attention if underwriting performance is not to slide, warned Robert Hartwig, senior vice-president and chief economist at the Insurance Information Institute, as he commented on the p/c industry's Q1 results.

"Continued strong premium growth, 'normal' catastrophe activity for the remainder of the year and a reduction in the number of massive year-end reserve charges could just maybe be enough to push the industry's underwriting result into the black for the first time in 25 years," Mr Hartwig ventured.
