Performance Analysis of Insurance Companies Traded on BIST: MARCOS Method

Abstract

Insurance companies are seen as the locomotive of the financial system and fulfill vital activities for all countries. Especially in developing economies such as Turkey, they contribute to the functionality of the financial sector by performing important activities alongside the banking sector. In this study, it is aimed to measure the financial performance of 6 insurance companies operating in BIST (Borsa Istanbul), namely Agesa Hayat Emeklilik AŞ, Ak Sigorta AŞ, Anadolu Anonim Türk Sigorta AŞ, Anadolu Hayat Emeklilik AŞ, Ray Sigorta AŞ and Türkiye Sigorta AŞ for the period 2019-2022 with CRITIC (Criteria Importance Through Intercriteria Correlation) and MARCOS (Measurement Alternatives and Ranking according to Compromise Solution) models. CRITIC method was preferred in order to make the weights of Short-Term Debt/Total Assets, Net Profit for the Period/Total Assets, Current Assets/Total Assets, Operating Expenses/Total Assets, Equity/Total Assets, Return on Assets Ratio, Net Profit/Equity and Net Premium Received/Gross Premium Received criteria objective. After the determined weight scores, the MARCOS method was used in the second part of the study. According to the results of the CRITIC method analysis, the most important financial performance determinant criterion for insurance companies in the analyzed period was Operating Expense/Total Assets. According to the results obtained from this method, Anadolu Hayat Emeklilik was the company with the highest performance among the companies analyzed, while Agesa Sigorta was the company with the worst performance in all years.
