EXCERPT FROM THE STUDY
Measuring the financial performance of insurance companies has therefore gained significant attention in the developed and some developing countries in the area of business and corporate finance literature. As underwriters, these companies are not only providing good mechanism for transferring risk but also help to boost entrepreneurial confidence in appropriate way so as to support investment growth and general economic activities. Profitability is a vital concern to all groups who have a direct or indirect interest in the firm. In spite of these vital roles that profit plays in the going concern of insurance firms, the profitability status of most insurance firms operating in Nigeria in relation to firm age, firm size, premium growth, loss ratio, liquidity and leverage of the firm have not attracted much attention of researchers in area of finance. This may be attributed to lack of thorough evaluation of factors that play critical role in profit realization of insurance firms in Nigeria. Therefore, it is of interest to know the extent to which firm specific characteristics (firm age, firm size, premium growth, loss ratio, liquidity and leverage) affect the financial performance of listed insurance firms in Nigeria. The firm specific characteristics of the insurance firms are to be assessed to provide valuable information in regards to their effects on performance.
