pts higher than standard lines; in 2024 Acceptance Insurance Group (Aingo Insurance Group Inc. proxy) reported a combined ratio near 104-108% in some quarters, reflecting elevated expense pressure. Frequent cancellations, non-payments, and intensive vetting for high-risk drivers drive higher policy acquisition and servicing costs, raising loss-adjusted overhead. For Acceptance, keeping premiums affordable for price-sensitive customers while covering these transaction-heavy costs compresses underwriting margin and caps expansion.
