Hello,
I'm translating a role play for underwriters. Within that text I found the abbreviation f.g.u.? Does anyone know the meaning of that?
Whole sentence: Loss history (f.g.u.): Loss ratio 8 % over 7 year oberservation period; just one flood claim in country M.
Thank you in advance.

: Ist wohl um einiges wahrscheinlicher als mein Vorschlag - vgl. http://www.actuaries.org.uk/__data/assets/pdf_file/0010/3213... (S. 3).

A company name?
There are literally thousands of google hits for various company names, so I think you'll just HAVE to check this with the customer.

Ist aber wirklich nur "geraten". Die Leerstelle zwischen der 8 und dem Prozentzeichen könnte im übrigen darauf hindeuten, dass der Text von einem Nichtmuttersprachler verfasst wurde (üblich wäre Zusammenschreibung: 8%).

Im Zweifel bitte den Kunden fragen bzw. eine "Anm. d. Übers." hinterlassen.

: Translators and authors with native languages where abbreviations are very common (e.g. German and Dutch) often apply the same practice to English, where they are much less common.
