Share turnover doesn't seem to fit the context of liability insurance.
Catarina Wilson
United States
share of turnover/share of sales
Explanation:
Hi Catarina. The phrase "share of turnover" is often used in this context overseas. You probably wouldn't find it used here for an insurance company, where "share of sales" would be used typically.
See the first link for "turnover" examples referring to Trygg Hansa's results. The second link is "sales" references for the same.

Explanation:
I agree with the suggestion of the asker in the US, whilst did not realise that turnover was used over there in the sense of sales, thought rather it means turning over in the sense of a transfer.




Example sentence(s):
  • From 1940 to 1975, the proportion of turnover from state and cooperative trade in total commodity turnover increased from 91.3 percent to 98.6 percent.
