What is claim ratio ?

Answer Posted / neha

The ratio of the cost of claims to the corresponding
premiums, either gross or net of reinsurance. The claim
ratio could, for example, be:

* the ratio of the incurred claims cost to the written
premium for a given underwriting year

* the ratio of the estimated ultimate claims cost to the
estimated ultimate premium for a given underwriting year

* the ratio of the incurred claims cost to the earned
premium for a given accounting year or year of exposure; or

* the ratio of the estimated ultimate claims cost to the
earned premium for a given accounting year or year of exposure

In the latter two examples the numerator could also include
the estimated change in the cost of claims that occurred in
earlier years. Similarly, the denominator could include
changes in earned premium in respect of earlier years.

Claim ratios may relate to periods other than a year.

Occasionally it is said that issuing convertible bonds is better than issuing stock when the firms shares are undervalued. Suppose that the financial manager of Decent Furniture Company does in fact have inside information indicating that the decent stock price is too low. Decent furniture earnings will in fact be higher than investor’s expectations. Suppose further that the inside information cannot be released without giving away a valuable competitive secret. Clearly, selling shares at the present low price would harm Decent’s existing shareholders. Will they also lose if convertible bonds are issued? If they do lose in this case, is the loss more or less than it would be if common stock is issued? Now suppose that investors forecast earnings accurately, but still under value the stock because they overestimate Decent’s actual business risk. Does this change your answer to the questions posed in the preceding paragraph? Explain.
