Abstract

The analysis of the financial performances of non-life insurance companies traded in Borsa Istanbul (BIST) as of the end of 2014 via the grey relational analysis (GRA) method has been aimed in this study. Financial performances of non-life insurance companies in the 2010 to 2014 period have been examined in terms of the capital adequacy ratios, liquidity ratios, operating ratios, and profitability ratios. The results of the GRA based on 16 financial ratios indicate that Aksigorta has been ranked first and Unico Sigorta has been ranked last in terms of financial performance for the 2010 to 2014 period. The results also show that profitability ratios have the greatest impact on the financial performance of non-life insurance companies traded in BIST.
