The Capital Leverage ratio indicates the extent to which the Capital Employed (defined as equity and free reserves) is leveraged for domestic insurance business. The Capital Leverage ratio is calculated for both the Gross Premium (GWP/Capital employed) and Net Premium (NWP/Capital employed) levels.
