This program shows how the variability of casualty policy experience creates a problem for small insurance companies. With only a few policies, the probability of loss can be quite high even when the premiums are set to produce a profit in the long run. One can see that the risk of loss is much higher for smaller companies than for larger companies. By lowering the premium paid by policy-holders, one can increase the chance of loss of small companies without much increase in the chance of loss for large companies. This is another application of the square root law.
