risks relating to our business fluctuations in the financial markets could result in investment losses . prolonged and severe disruptions in the overall public debt and equity markets , such as occurred during 2008 , could result in significant realized and unrealized losses in our investment portfolio . although financial markets have significantly improved since 2008 , they could deteriorate in the future . there could also be disruption in individual market sectors , such as occurred in the energy sector in recent years . such declines in the financial markets could result in significant realized and unrealized losses on investments and could have a material adverse impact on our results of operations , equity , business and insurer financial strength and debt ratings . our results could be adversely affected by catastrophic events . we are exposed to unpredictable catastrophic events , including weather-related and other natural catastrophes , as well as acts of terrorism . any material reduction in our operating results caused by the occurrence of one or more catastrophes could inhibit our ability to pay dividends or to meet our interest and principal payment obligations . by way of illustration , during the past five calendar years , pre-tax catastrophe losses , net of contract specific reinsurance but before cessions under corporate reinsurance programs , were as follows: .

pre-tax catastrophe losses: 2016: 301.2
2015: 53.8
2014: 56.3
2013: 194
2012: 410

our losses from future catastrophic events could exceed our projections . we use projections of possible losses from future catastrophic events of varying types and magnitudes as a strategic underwriting tool . we use these loss projections to estimate our potential catastrophe losses in certain geographic areas and decide on the placement of retrocessional coverage or other actions to limit the extent of potential losses in a given geographic area . these loss projections are approximations , reliant on a mix of quantitative and qualitative processes , and actual losses may exceed the projections by a material amount , resulting in a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. .

Questions:
what was the change in pre-tax catastrophe losses from 2015 to 2016?
and what was the total of pre-tax catastrophe losses in 2015?
how much, then, does that change represent in relation to this total, in percentage?
