Operating profit falls by $100m for Brit
Interim results for first half of 2015 show GWP fell 6.3% as profits plummet.
Brit reported a 6.3% fall in GWP for the first six months of 2015 with premiums falling to $1.1bn (£704m) from $1.2bn the previous year.

The losses were caused by a fall in investment returms prompted by US interest rate fears.
