3. RISK MANAGEMENT :
 Risk management is the process of making and carrying out decisions that will
minimize the adverse effects of risk on an organization. The adverse effects of risk can
be objective or quantifiable like insurance premiums and claims costs, or subjective and
difficult to quantify such as damage to reputation or decreased productivity. By
focusing attention on risk and committing the necessary resources to control and
mitigate risk, a business will protect itself from uncertainty, reduce costs, and increase
the likelihood of business continuity and success.
 A risk exists where there is an opportunity for a profit or a loss. In terms of losses, we
commonly refer to the risks as exposures to loss, or simply exposures. A fire is an
exposure. Defective products or defamation are liability exposures. The loss of business
that results from a damaged building or tarnished reputation is also an exposure.

4. Types of Risk:
1. Pure Risk - Risks where the possible outcomes are either a loss or no loss. It includes
things like fire loss, a building being burglarized, having an employee involved in a
motor vehicle accident, etc.
2. Speculative Risk - Risks where the possible outcomes are either a loss, profit, or status
quo. It includes things like stock market investments and business decisions such as
new product lines, new locations, etc.

5. Steps to Implement Risk Management:
1. Risk identification: It is a good idea to chart your risks in a way that allows you to
identify the more common and serious risks so that you know the areas to which you
need to commit resources.
2. Quantify and prioritize: Risk mapping is one way to do this. Essentially, you chart all
of the identified risks on the map. The map will make you aware of those risks on
which you need to focus. Work with your broker to make sure that you are covered for
all of the appropriate risks and look for ways to prevent and mitigate these risks.
3. Be risk sensitive, not risk adverse: Being risk sensitive is not the same as being
paranoid. Realize that there are risks associated with everything. Take a deliberate and
methodical approach to dealing with risk, while at the same time being realistic.
4. Identify risk in business decisions: Identifying risks in business decisions is much the
same as with the process of identifying any risk. The key is to be thorough and use all
the sources available. These risks can be prioritized and mapped in the same way as all
other risks.

6. Definition of 'Insurable Risk'
 Definition: A risk that conforms to the norms and specifications of the insurance policy
in such a way that the criterion for insurance is fulfilled is called insurable risk. There
are various essential conditions that need to be fulfilled before acceptance of
insurability of any risk. In case of a scenario where the loss is too huge that no insurer
would want to pay for it, the risk is said to be uninsurable.
A risk may not be termed as insurable if it is immeasurable, very large, certain or not
definable.

7. Features of Insurable Risk:
 There are ideally six characteristics of an insurable risk:
• There must be a large number of exposure units.
• The loss must be accidental and unintentional.
• The loss must be determinable and measurable.
• The loss should not be catastrophic.
• The chance of loss must be calculable.
• The premium must be economically feasible.

8. Prospectus of insurance companies:
 A prospectus is a formal document that is required by and filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission (SEC) that provides details about an investment offering to the
public. A prospectus is filed for offerings of stocks, bonds, and mutual funds. The
document can help investors make more informed investment decisions because it
contains a host of relevant information about the investment security. A prospectus
includes some of the following information:
• A brief summary of the company’s background and financial information
• The name of the company issuing the stock
• The number of shares
• Type of securities being offered
• Whether an offering is public or private
• Names of the company’s principals
• Names of the banks or financial companies performing the underwriting

9. Types of prospectus:
 According to Companies Act 2013, there are four types of prospectus.
 Deemed Prospectus – Deemed prospectus has mentioned under Companies Act, 2013
Section 25 (1). When a company allows or agrees to allot any securities of the company, the
document is considered as a deemed prospectus via which the offer is made to investors. Any
document which offers the sale of securities to the public is deemed to be a prospectus by
implication of law.
 Red Herring Prospectus – Red herring prospectus does not contain all information about
the prices of securities offered and the number of securities to be issued. According to the
act, the firm should issue this prospectus to the registrar at least three before the opening of
the offer and subscription list.
 Shelf prospectus – Shelf prospectus is stated under section 31 of the Companies Act, 2013.
Shelf prospectus is issued when a company or any public financial institution offers one or
more securities to the public. A company shall provide a validity period of the prospectus,
which should not be more than one year. The validity period starts with the commencement
of the first offer. There is no need for a prospectus on further offers. The organization must
provide an information memorandum when filing the shelf prospectus.
 Abridged Prospectus – Abridged prospectus is a memorandum, containing all salient
features of the prospectus as specified by SEBI. This type of prospectus includes all the
information in brief, which gives a summary to the investor to make further decisions. A
company cannot issue an application form for the purchase of securities unless an abridged
prospectus accompanies such a form.
