CLAIMS
RATIO
ALL IN ONE
In the sectional title environment, a claims ratio of between 35% and 55% is desirable in order to maintain stable premium rates.
Costs make up 30-40% of the premium, thus, 60% is considered to be the break even point for insurers.
The insurer usually runs at a loss when the ratio is higher than 60%. When a policy reaches 55%, it is in danger zone.
Ideal range is 35% to 55% as indicated by the green block alongside.
