Its United States manager, W. L. H. Simpson, also directs the business in the United States of the British and Foreign Marine, Maritime, and Ocean Marine insurance companies, of England. He is also president of the American and Foreign Marine Insurance Company, of New York.

The expense of management of the United States Branch is very moderate, and its average loss ratio is about normal. In 1919 it had a high loss ratio and sustained a loss from underwriting of $15,956.03. The decrease in surplus of $130,903.05 was due to the fact that large remittances were made to the Home Office.

The volume of business transacted by the United States Branch is conservative.

The company's loss paying reputation is excellent.
