The paper deals with the application of principal component analysis
in determining financial ratios that are representative within non-life
insurance sector. Starting from many financial indicators found in the
literature in the field of insurance, the purpose of the study is to identify
a smaller set of ratios that are most relevant for assessing the financial
position and performance of non-life insurance companies in Serbia with
a minimum loss of information. On the basis of financial reports of non-
life and composite insurers in the period 2010-2019, we calculated 38
financial ratios, grouped into seven categories (capital adequacy, asset
quality, reinsurance risk and performance, adequacy of technical reserves,
profitability, liquidity and management soundness). Using parallel analysis
and Velicer’s minimum average partial test, we found that it is possible
to explain 85% of variability of the initial set of ratios with six financial
ratios. The obtained results can be used for the purposes of efficient
financial analysis of individual insurance companies and the entire non-
life insurance sector in Serbia.</dc:description>

Predmet rada je primena analize glavnih komponenata u određivanju
reprezentativnih finansijskih pokazatelja u sektoru neživotnih osiguranja.
Cilj istraživanja je da se, polazeći od mnoštva finansijskih pokazatelja
koji se susreću u literaturi u oblasti osiguranja, identifikuje manji skup
pokazatelja koji su najrelevantniji za ocenu finansijskog položaja i
performansi kompanija koje se bave poslovima neživotnih osiguranja u
Srbiji, uz minimalan gubitak informacija. Na osnovu finansijskih izveštaja
neživotnih i kompozitnih osiguravača tokom perioda 2010-2019. godine,
izračunato je 38 finansijskih pokazatelja, koji su razvrstani u sedam
kategorija (adekvatnost kapitala, kvalitet imovine, rizik i performanse
reosiguranja, adekvatnost tehničkih rezervi, profitabilnost, likvidnost
i kvalitet menadžmenta). Primenom paralelne analize i Velicerovog
minimalnog prosečnog delimičnog testa, utvrđeno je da je sa svega šest
finansijskih pokazatelja moguće objasniti 85% varijabiliteta inicijalnog
skupa pokazatelja. Dobijeni rezultati mogu biti korišćeni u svrhe efikasne
finansijske analize pojedinačnih osiguravajućih kompanija i celokupnog
sektora neživotnih osiguranja u Srbiji.</dc:description>
