LONDON, Nov. 22, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Newpoint Reinsurance Company Limited (“NPRE”) acknowledges the retraction of an article and formal apology issued yesterday by The Insurer, a publication managed by Reuters News & Media Limited. The now-retracted article, originally published on September 9, 2024, has been withdrawn following a comprehensive review.
The Insurer has issued the following apology, which has been published on its website and emailed to its subscribers:
Newpoint Re: An Apology
The Insurer has withdrawn a 9 September 2024 article about Newpoint Reinsurance Company (NPRE) following a post-publication review, which found that in certain respects it did not meet our editorial standards.
Much of the content of the article was not put to NPRE for comment prior to publication, and some of the contents were not fact-checked by us to our usual standards.
In particular, it was incorrect to report that it was unclear what was behind AM Best’s August decision to place NPRE ‘under review with developing implications’. AM Best had explained in its public commentary that this was because NPRE’s parent was in the process of strengthening its capital structure via the planned issue of common shares and that it assessed NPRE’s balance sheet as “very strong”.
We regret this lapse and apologise to NPRE in relation to the above.
The formal apology is prominently featured on The Insurer’s homepage and has been distributed to its subscriber base. For public viewing, the apology will remain accessible on their website at www.theinsurer.com/newpoint-re-an-apology until February 20, 2025.
In response to the retraction, Andrew Bye ACII, SIRM, Executive Director of Newpoint Reinsurance Company Limited, commented, "We commend The Insurer's commitment to fair journalism and their readers. Their immediate and transparent action reflects well on their integrity as a news source. NPRE maintains transparency and accountability as core principles in all our operations."
NPRE continues to be dedicated to providing exceptional service and transparency in all its practices, reinforcing its position as a trusted risk partner in the international insurance and reinsurance industry. The company values the principles of honesty and integrity, both within internal operations and in its interactions with media and public entities.
