The question asked about the differences between using GNPI and GGPI for rate monitoring
The solution has a bullet point says
"Excluding acquisition costs (using GNPI) gives a truer reflection of each insurer's profitability, as it reflects more closely the net financial position of the insurer."
Let say the premium income without acquisition cost is £100, acquisition cost is £20, and loss is £50
Is the GNPI = 100
and GGPI = 100 + 20 = 120 ?
So, LR using GNPI = 50/100 = 50%, LR using GGPI = 50/120 = 41.67% ?
I agreed with the solution that using GNPI gives truer reflection of profitability, but isnt that INCL as apposed to EXCL acquisition cost? Can anyone explain? Thanks in advance.
