Bus/Financial - Insurance

English term or phrase: f. g. u.

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.

A company name?

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

f. g. u. - for good understanding als Hintergrundinformation / zum besseren Verständnis

Explanation:
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.
