Profit Share

Put simply, blip calculates the total amount of premium paid by policyholders, takes away underwriting and claims costs and expenses, and then shares the resulting profit with current policy holders.

Detail:

  1. The profit share will be calculated every 12 months based on the total premium paid, and after deductions for the costs of underwriting and running blip.
  2. What happens if there is a loss rather than a profit?
    • You only share in the upside not the downside
    • The underwriters carry the risk
  3. Your share in the profit will not be affected if you have made a claim
  4. Profits will be declared approximately 4-6 months after the financial year ends.
  5. Profits are allocated on a pro rata basis linked to the number of days a policy has been in place during the relevant financial year.
  6. That policy or a renewal of it must be still current
Profits will be declared approximately 4-6 months after the financial year ends.
