Introduction

It is critical to the planning function to understand how and why state insurance market performance varies. A company’s plan should include a sense of expectations for profitable growth in a given territory or for a given line of business. Developing informed assumptions for an assessment of growth expectations is a critical element of the plan. Monitoring performance involves not only recording performance via the bottom-line metric, but also monitoring performance of the underlying assumptions. Understanding variances in assumptions is critical to developing a more robust plan.


The states are regulated differently and are influenced by different economic, demographic, weather, and other variables that drive premium growth and profitability. A detailed understanding of state differences should guide a company’s strategy.
