Allied World Assurance Group reported a 52 percent jump in first-quarter net income yesterday, attributing the result to a better combined ratio and a boost in net investment income over last year's first quarter.

Like many other Bermuda companies reporting first-quarter financial results earlier this year, that also reported better underwriting and investment results on flat or declining premium, Allied World said its premiums were roughly flat--at half a billion dollars.

Specifically, gross premiums for the quarter were $498.1 million, compared with $505.3 million last year.
