-
In determining whether rates comply with Section 11732, the following criteria shall apply:
(a) Due consideration may be given to past and prospective loss and expenses experience within this state, to catastrophe hazards and contingencies, to events or trends within this state, to loadings for leveling premium rates over time or for dividends or savings to be allowed or returned by insurers to their policyholders, members or subscribers, and to all other relevant factors, including judgment.
(b) The expense provisions included in the rates to be used by an insurer shall reflect the operating methods of the insurer and, so far as is credible, its own actual and anticipated expense experience.
(c) The rates may contain a provision for contingencies and an allowance permitting a reasonable profit. In determining the reasonableness of profit, consideration shall be given to all investment income attributable to premiums and the reserves associated with those premiums.
