JLT Specialty wins clients in first quarter

JLT has said that key client wins in its specialty division
helped offset tough trading conditions in the first quarter.
In a quarterly trading statement, JLT said losses in its US
Specialty business, in which it has been investing to build up,
were expected to fall over 2017.
The specialty division's acquisition of a 50.1 percent stake
in US brokerage Construction Risk Partners, agreed on 27 January,
is on schedule, JLT noted.
