In the Canadian context, the insurance sector experienced a notable increase in revenue of 31.5% when comparing to the second quarter of 2022.

Trisura reported that the robust underwriting performance observed in all segments played a significant role in achieving a combined ratio of 82.9%, a return on equity (ROE) of 26.7%, and an operating ROE of 28.4% during the second quarter of 2023.
In the United States, throughout the specified period, there was a notable rise of 48.5% in insurance income, amounting to $467.9 million.

The interest and dividend income experienced a significant increase of 134.4% to $11.9 million in comparison to the second quarter of 2022. This growth can be attributed to better risk-adjusted returns and an augmentation in capital.
