Sandy Losses in Q4 of $380M for Ace; $95M for Montpelier Re

Ace says it expects about $380 million in losses in the fourth quarter related to Superstorm Sandy.

The estimate is after tax, net of reinsurance, and includes reinstatement premiums, says the Zurich-based multiline P&C insurance group.

Meanwhile, Hamilton, Bermuda-based Montpelier Re Holdings says it predicts about $95 million in pretax losses from Sandy in 2012’s last quarter.

The reinsurer says its prediction of fourth-quarter losses is also net of reinsurance, and includes reinstatements.

The late-October storm brought strong winds and storm surge to the Northeast. Catastrophe modelers say Sandy could cause up to $25 billion in losses for the insurance industry.

The estimates are the latest from companies prepping investors as fourth-quarter earnings announcement season approaches.
