@ mwekez@ji I think what the deal said is 100% "INFORMED" ! I think u don't understand the term "underwriting"
Google it perhaps?

Stick with your perspective Boss! @the deal, @Horton, the underwiting profits are in black and white in the annual reports. One does not even need to do any calculations for that. Just reading, how hard is that for you two! Turn to page 6 and read the executive statements!

Google it perhaps? The guy does not get it  anyway since NSe is up +18% this year...that portfolio which was in the red in 2011 must be back in the black...a good buy for speculation purposes!

Also to do with cost of float ie all comes into underwriting profits, this is what buffett had to say about it. Basically what I understand from all the annual letters I have read, is that, they try to keep the combined ratio to about 1 or underwriting losses to a basic minimum and they have done so quite well over the years and he also says that it's the cost of the float that matters. Jub 2011 combine ratio was 1.29 ie cost of their float was 29% isn't it cheaper just to get a bank loan at 18% perhaps?

What are you people smoking. Cant you two even read what is black and white in the annual reports

Perhaps whatever we smoke differs in quality and hence the difference in combined ratio?! Have figured out what we are talking about?

It also made good use of the float to achieve PROFIT BEFORE TAX of KES 2.1B You certainly need to correct your numbers and begin smoking the good stuff

Sorry guru,VVS et al but insurance industry in Kenya sucks. No where else on the world is insurance on a car worked out on its value vs the damage it can do. How else would u explain my Toyota e90s With no abs braking, banger and sometimes lent to my 18yr old reckless Cuzo borrowing it from time to time. Compare in the west where drivers under 24 pay so much more premiums, also the state of the car matters. But in Kenya not so its a flat fee depending on value of the car.
Does no one here care about combined ratios?! @Horton, You need to check Jubilees financials General insurance, which including insuring motor vehicles that you are referring to above, accounted for 78% of the net insurance premium revenue so it is the main insurance segment of Jubilee. It achieved a combined ratio of 88.6%, which is an outstanding performance. It contributed KES 1.3B to PBT

Mwekez@ji...The net motor premiums for 2011 were 2,121,829,000 and claims were 1,285,829. That gives Even if I overlook that you have not incorporated EXPENSES, a key ingredient to the formula for combined ratio, I still don't come up with 88.6%.... Where did u get this? Because its a big company with various functions, easiest way, in my opinion, is to do the combined ratio for the entire insurance arm because segregation can get tricky. please follow your own advice. Read the statements! Stop reading the message from the chairman alone and go down to the nitty-gritty.Where are you getting your figures from? Do you truly understand what a combined ratio is? Go to investopedia and learn something. http://www.investopedia....ratio.asp#axzz20IsARdSk
And while you are at it, read about geico, bufett's baby on http://articles.business...o-market-share-premiums specifically read the 3rd last paragraph which clearly states, premiums are set on risk levels
