Underwriting profit

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Underwriting profit is a term used in the insurance industry. It consists of the earned premium remaining after losses have been paid and administrative expenses have been deducted. It does not include any investment income earned on held premiums.

It has also been very elusive to most insurance companies (like the unicorn or Loch Ness Monster). Many companies will eschew Underwriting profit in order to gain a greater market share.
