I am looking for analyzing insurance companies by their balance sheet
Goto ambest.com and type in the carrier's name and check out their "Financial Size" category (rank) and also their "Best Rating" such as 'XV - Excellent' etc. and of course you read up on the expanded definitions of the above 2 classif. (FS & Management Rating). Re RATIOS: loss ratio and combined ratio, plus expense ratio (in connection w/ bal sheets).
What type of insurance companies?
