The insurance system is one of the key industries in a developing economy and a globalized financial environment, both in its contribution to economic growth and its role as a provider of basic services in risk management and in its role as a main institutional investor in the financial system. Therefore, the good performance and growth of insurers is relevant in the economy, by guaranteeing their continuity and the coverage of agents against adverse events. This research contributes to the limited literature in the LATAM insurance industry on the determinants of financial performance, measured as ROA, as well as on the relationship between efficiency and profitability (EP) in the life and general insurance lines between 2010 and 2019 in the countries of the Pacific Alliance. The data envelopment analysis (DEA) technique was used to estimate the technical efficiency scores of life and non-life insurers. Then, through a fixed effects panel, the hypothesis of a statistically positive and economically important EP relationship in the life and non-life insurance industries is documented and accepted, which is in line with the law of of diminishing marginal returns. This indicates that a more efficient life insurance company should increase its results, since it maximizes its premiums and assets to invest. Furthermore, the results suggest that financial performance is influenced by factors related to company and industry profile.
