June 15, 2015 / 1 min read

Many insurers have significant potential to generate lift by aligning rates more closely with underlying risk levels, according to a recent Verisk analysis of industry rating plan data. Our analysis compared current rating plans and premiums with by-peril rates that are based on the relative risks of each policy across nine perils informed by specific building characteristics.
