TT Club Annual Report 2024: Industry Resilience & Growth

TT Club, a specialist mutual insurer for the global transport and logistics sector, has demonstrated resilience in 2024 amid industry volatility. Gross earned premiums stood steady at US$ 284.2 million, reflecting stable trading volumes despite macroeconomic pressures and geopolitical uncertainties. However, the underwriting result showed a deficit of US$ 27.7 million, largely driven by bodily injury claims in the US and significant investment in modernising core IT systems. Despite these challenges, the Club secured a surplus of US$ 4.8 million, supported by strong investment returns of US$ 34.2 million, underpinned by a conservative portfolio strategy yielding a 5.6% return.

Additionally, TT Club remains proactive in technological transformation, successfully launching a new underwriting platform in mid-2024, aimed at enhancing operational efficiency and Member service.
