1. INSURANCE
For securing you from risks
By : Lekshmi Narayanan K
2. INTRODUCTION
Definition:
Insurance is a form of risk management primarily used
to hedge against the risk of a contingent, uncertain loss.
Insurance, whether life or non-life, provides people with
a reasonable degree of security and assurance that they will
be protected in an event of a calamity or failure of any sort.
3. HOW IT WORKS ?
Economies of Scale, i.e. the insurer collects premium from a large group of
people individually through a policy and invests them in many forms which
brings high returns. Once an insured person claims, the benefit is provided for
the deceased.
Underwriting and investing
The business model is to collect more in premium and investment income than is paid out in losses
Profit = Earned premium + Investment income - Incurred loss -
Underwriting expenses.
Insurers make money in two ways:
Through underwriting, the process by which insurers select the risks to insure and
decide how much in premiums to charge for accepting those risks.
By investing the premiums they collect from insured parties.
