Helios Underwriting ( (GB:HUW) ) has shared an announcement.
Helios Underwriting has set its managed capacity for the 2026 Lloyd’s year of account at £467 million, down from £491 million in 2025, reflecting a strategic reshaping of its syndicate portfolio and the integration of newly acquired Limited Liability Vehicles bought below Humphrey Valuation. The firm has increased its freehold capacity by 35% to £218 million, boosted NAV per share to £2.48 as of 30 September 2025, and continues to prioritise well-diversified allocations into established syndicates such as Arch, Beazley, Hiscox and Convex, which together make up the majority of the 2026 portfolio. Helios is also raising the proportion of its portfolio ceded via reinsurance and pooling arrangements to cut gearing and costs, positioning itself defensively as Lloyd’s market conditions begin to soften but remain attractive, while maintaining strong profit expectations for recent underwriting years and signalling an ongoing focus on long-term shareholder value, including a future review of dividend policy as profits emerge.
The most recent analyst rating on (GB:HUW) stock is a Hold with a £214.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Helios Underwriting stock, see the GB:HUW Stock Forecast page.
