Rating Plan Comparisons

Generating a premium comparison for a group of target risks is a good first step. The premium comparison should be supplemented by adding your distribution of business and performing an average rate level analysis. Pinnacle's average rate level analysis provides the following:

  • A benchmark for establishing an overall rate level for companies with little or no data;
  • Macro level competitive analysis of your book of business; and
  • Analysis of the impact of different rate levels

The average rate level analysis is an excellent tool for evaluating overall competitiveness on a macro level. Further detailed analysis identifies elements of the rating plan which are actually causing premium differences. This is where relativity analysis can help. Our relativity analysis provides exhibits for the major rating variables adjusted to a common base, which facilitates the identification of areas of competitive advantage or disadvantage. Exhibits are produced for the major rating variables, including:

  • Limits
  • Territory
  • Driver Class
  • Symbol/Deductible/Model Year Factors
  • Discounts/Surcharges
  • Amount of Insurance
  • Protection Class
