A quick definition of loss ratio:

Loss ratio: The loss ratio is a measure used in insurance and banking to compare the amount of money paid in premiums or loan assets to the amount of money lost due to claims or loan defaults. It helps to determine the financial health of an insurance company or bank by showing how much money is being lost compared to how much is being earned. A lower loss ratio is generally better, as it means that the company or bank is managing its risks effectively and is less likely to experience financial difficulties.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Loss ratio is a term used in insurance and finance to describe the ratio between the amount of money paid in premiums or loan assets and the amount of money lost due to claims or loan defaults during a specific period of time.

Example 1: In insurance, if a company collects $1,000,000 in premiums and pays out $500,000 in claims during a year, the loss ratio would be 50% ($500,000/$1,000,000).

Example 2: In finance, if a bank has $10,000,000 in loan assets and experiences $100,000 in loan losses during a year, the loss ratio would be 1% ($100,000/$10,000,000).

These examples illustrate how loss ratio is used to measure the financial performance of insurance companies and banks. A high loss ratio indicates that a company is paying out more in claims or experiencing more loan losses than it is collecting in premiums or loan payments, which can be a sign of financial instability. A low loss ratio, on the other hand, indicates that a company is collecting more in premiums or loan payments than it is paying out in claims or losses, which can be a sign of financial strength.
