Suncorp Group Limited Enhances Catastrophe Protection and Maintains FY26 Performance Guidance
Suncorp Group Limited (ASX: SUN) has reinforced its risk management strategy by completing its FY27 reinsurance renewal, introducing broader catastrophe protection designed to improve financial resilience and capital efficiency. The updated program includes a long-term aggregate cover that offers annual protection of up to AU$800 million while preserving the company's AU$350 million retention level for the first two major catastrophe events. Additional protection for later events further reduces exposure to large weather-related losses. The insurer has retained its FY27 natural hazard allowance at AU$1.80 billion, with the new structure expected to limit annual catastrophe costs to around AU$1.85 billion under most scenarios. Despite elevated natural hazard claims during FY26, Suncorp continues to expect its underlying insurance trading ratio to finish near the upper end of the 10–12% target range. Gross written premium growth is projected at about 2.7%, while investment income is anticipated to range between AU$750 million and AU$800 million. The company also confirmed that CEO Steve Johnston will resume leadership following his medical leave.
