Actual loss ratio

Insurance companies use a key metric called Loss Ratio to measure their financial performance. It reflects the proportion of claims paid out to the amount of premiums collected in a specific line of insurance during a specific period. A lower loss ratio indicates better profitability for the insurance company, while a higher loss ratio may signal potential financial risks. Understanding this ratio is crucial for evaluating the health of an insurance company and making informed investment decisions.
