Abstract
Financial pricing models are replacing traditional ratemaking techniques for property-liability insurers. This paper provides an introduction to the target total rate of return approach, the capital asset pricing model, the discounted cash flow technique, and the option pricing model, all in an insurance context. Examples of each method, along with discussions of their advantages and weaknesses, are provided.
