Markel Corporation's combined operating ratio (COR) remained at 98% for the first six months of 2014, exactly the same as what it reported last year.
Looking at the quarterly results Q1 saw a COR of 103% and there was a slight reduction for Q2 which came in a 103%.
Markel said that COR had increased in both periods in 2014 compared to 2013, if you exclude the impact of $61.8m on transaction costs and $25.4m of catastrophe losses accounted for last year.
