  ABSTRACT: Loss distribution plays an influential role in evaluating risks from policyholders’ claims. Nevertheless, the auto insurance market in Ghana pays little attention to policyholders’ claims distribution, resulting in the market’s inefficiency. This study investigates the type of loss distribution function that best approximates policyholders’ claims in Ghana. We applied the Kullback-Leibler divergence, Kolmogorov Smirnov, Anderson-Darling statistical tests and maximum likelihood estimation (MLE) to estimate policyholders’ claims. The results suggest that Ghana’s auto policyholder’s claims are better approximated using the lognormal probability distribution. Through the lognormal distribution, the industry can adequately evaluate policyholders’ claims to minimize potential loss. Additionally, this distribution could enable the market reach decisions on premiums and expected profits theoretically.
