In plain English
Erie Indemnity is not really an insurer — it is the manager of one. It acts as the 'attorney-in-fact' for the Erie Insurance Exchange, a policyholder-owned reciprocal that actually carries the auto, home and business risk. For running the whole show — selling policies through ~13,000 agents, underwriting, claims and IT — Erie Indemnity takes a management fee of up to 25% of the Exchange's premiums. So almost all of its revenue is a fee skimmed off a ~$13B premium pool it does not own, which is why it earns insurer-like profits with almost no insurance risk on its own books.
