Investopedia explains 'Calendar Year Experience'

Underwriting can be defined as the process of insuring someone. Insurance underwriters usually assess a client, decide how much coverage the client should receive, how much the clients should pay for the coverage or whether to accept the risk and insure them. Underwriting involves measuring risk exposure and determining the premium that needs to be charged to insure that risk.
