Net Assets to SIR • Measure of solvency • Indicates number of unexpected losses needed to consume net assets • = Net assets / largest SIR
Gross Assessments To Net Assets • Measure of net asset adequacy • As ratio increases, the more likely it is that a high loss year will erode surplus • = Gross Assessments / Net Assets
Net Assessments To Net Assets • Measure of net asset adequacy • As ratio increases, the more likely it is that a high loss year will erode net assets • = Net Assessments / Net Assets
Loss Reserves To Net Assets • Measure of net asset adequacy • As the ratio increases, the more likely it is that upward development in loss reserves will exhaust net assets • = Loss Reserves / Net Assets
Expense Ratio • Measure of efficiency • Low ratio indicates efficient administration (within reason) • = All Operating Expenses / Net Assessments
Combined Ratio • Measure of profitability • Indicates ability to fund operations from net assessments • = (All Operating Expenses + Retained Losses) / Net Assessments
