February 2007,Financial market participants,R with possibilities,2007,2ndmillennium BC,3rd millennium BC,A. Insurance is defined as the equitable transfer of the risk of a loss, from one entity to another, in exchange for a premium.Insurance rate is a factor used to determine the amount, called the premium, tobe charged for a certain amount of insurance coverage. The vast majority of insurance policies are provided for individual members of very large classes. Satellite Launch insurance covers events that are infrequent. The event that gives ris

    e to the loss that is subject to insurance should, at least in principle, take place at a known time, in a known place, and from a known cause. Fire, automobileaccidents, and worker injuries may all easily meet this criterion. Occupationaldisease, for instance, may involve prolonged exposure to injurious conditions where no specific time, place or cause is identifiable. The event that constitutes the trigger of a claim should be fortuitous, or at least outside the control of the beneficiary of the insurance. The size of the loss must be meaningful fromthe perspective of the insured. For small losses these latter costs may be several times the size of the expected cost of losses. If the likelihood of an insured event is so high, or the cost of the event so large, that the resulting premium is large relative to the amount of protection offered, it is not likely thatanyone will buy insurance, even if on offer. If there is no such chance of loss,the transaction may have the form of insurance, but not the substance. If the s

    ame event can cause losses to numerous policyholders of the same insurer, the ability of that insurer to issue policies becomes constrained, not by factors surrounding the individual characteristics of a given policyholder, but by the factors surrounding the sum of all policyholders so exposed. Where the loss can be aggregated, or an individual policy could produce exceptionally large claims, thecapital constraint will restrict an insurers appetite for additional policyholders. Wind insurance in hurricane zones, particularly along coast lines, is another example of this phenomenon. In commercial fire insurance it is possible to find single properties whose total exposed value is well in excess of any individual insurers capital constraint. The fee paid by the insured to the insurer for assuming the risk is called the 'premium'. Using a wide assortment of data, insurerspredict the likelihood that a claim will be made against their policies and price products accordingly. Data is analyzed to fairly accurately project the rate o

    f future claims based on a given risk. The loss ratio (incurred losses and loss-adjustment expenses divided by net earned premium) is added to the expense ratio(underwriting expenses divided by net premium written) to determine the company's combined ratio. Naturally, the floatmethod is difficult to carry out in an eccally depressed period. So a poor economy generally means high insurance premiums. Generally better statistics are available on auto losses and underwriting onthis line of business has benefited greatly from advances in computing. In managing the claims-handling function, insurers seek to balance the elements of customer satisfaction, administrative handling expenses, and claims overpayment leakages. Insurance transactions do not present the possibility of gain. But players

Should the same thing happen to one's neighbour, the other neighbours must help. Chinese merchants travelling treacherous river rapids would redistribute their wares across many vessels to limit the loss due toany single vessel's capsizing. The insurance tradition was performed each year in Norouz (beginning of the Iranian New Year); the heads of different ethnic groups as well as others willing to take part, presented gifts to the monarch. Whena gift was worth more than 10,000 Derrik (Achaemenian gold coin) the issue was registered in a special office. For others, the presents were fairly assessed bythe confidants of the court. These new insurance contracts allowed insurance tobe separated from investment, a separation of roles that first proved useful inmarine insurance. London's growing importance as a centre for trade increased demand for marine insurance. Edward Lloyd opened a coffee house that became a popular haunt of ship owners, merchants, and shipscaptains, and thereby a reliable source of the latest shipping news. Franklin's company was the first to make contributions toward fire prevention. A single policy may cover risks in one or more of the categories set forth below. National Health Service in the UK (NHS) or other publicly-funded health programs do not pay for them. Many insurers in the USdo not provide flood insurance in some portions of the country. Many types of insurance include an aspect of liability coverage. Professional liability insurance may take on different names depending on the profession. DBA is required for all US citizens, US residents, US Green Card holders, and all employees or subcontractors hired on overseas government contracts. It is used to protect public fu

    nds from tamper by unauthorized parties. The terms of this type of insurance areusually very strict. A first-party coverage for contamination of insured property either by external or on-site sources. The policy usually covers the costs ofcleanup and may include coverage for releases from underground storage tanks. Purchase insurance can cover individual purchase protection, warranties, guarantees, care plans and even mobile phone insurance. Insurer so the maximum total cost of the program is known. The final premium is based on the insured's actual loss experience during the policy term, sometimes subject to a minimum and maximumpremium, with the final premium determined by a formula. The rating formula isguaranteed in the insurance contract. This can be done on a formal basis by establishing a separate fund into which funds are deposited on a periodic basis, orby simply forgoing the purchase of available insurance and paying out-of-pocket.Such losses, if covered by conventional insurance, mean having to pay a premium

    that includes loadings for the company's general expenses, cost of putting thepolicy on the books, acquisition expenses, premium taxes, and contingencies. Buta summary of its essence is that it is a collection of insurance coverages (including components of life insurance, disability income insurance, unemployment insurance, health insurance, and others), plus retirement savings, that mandatesparticipation by all citizens. United States, standard line insurance companiesare your "main stream" insurers. They use pattern or "cookie-cutter" policies without variation from one person to the next. Excess and Surplus) typically insure risks not covered by the standard lines market. Non-admitted insurers are notlicensed in the states where the risks are located. However, they still have substantial regulatory requirements placed upon them. This is more of a traditionaldistinction as true mutual companies are becoming rare. The ratings include thecompany's financial strength, which measures its ability to pay claims. This d

    efinition can sometimes be extended to include some of the risks of the parent company's customers. Captives may take the form of a "pure" entity (which is a 100 percent subsidiary of the self-insured parent company); of a "mutual" captive(which insures the collective risks of members of an industry); and of an "association" captive (which self-insures individual risks of the members of a professional, commercial or industrial association). However, in some cases the benefitderived from tax deferral may be offset by a low return. IRAs, 401(k) plans, Roth IRAs) may be better alternatives for value accumulation.

    d Japan alone accounted for a half of world insurance premiums, much higher thantheir 7 percent share of the global population. An insurance premium paid currently provides coverage for losses that might arise many years in the future. Inrecent years, a number of insurance companies have become insolvent, leaving their policyholders with no coverage (or coverage only from a government-backed insurance pool or other arrangement with less attractive payouts for losses). The essence of insurance is the transfer of risk from the insured to one or more insurers. The accounting profession raised serious concerns about the use of reinsurance in which little if any actual risk was transferred, and went on to addressthe issue in FAS 113, cited above. Paragraph 12 of SSAP 62 is nearly identical to the FAS 113 test, while paragraph 14, which is otherwise very similar to paragraph 10 of FAS 113, additionally contains a justification for the use of a single fixed rate for discounting purposes. FAS 113 nor SAP 62 defines the terms reasonable or significant. It would be much simpler if one could apply a test of anX percent chance of a loss of Y percent or greater. SEC official who is said tohave opined in an after lunch talk that a 10 percent chance of a 10 percent losswas sufficient to establish both reasonableness and significance. SEC officialtherefore, the rest of this paragraph doesn't apply. This ratio (expressed as apercentage), commonly called the rate on line for historical reasons related tounderwriting practices at Lloyd's of London, will typically be low for contractsthat contain reasonably self-evident risk transfer. CEO's and CFO's attest annually as to the reinsurance agreements their firms undertake. The attestation requirement only applies to contracts that were entered into, renewed or amended onor after 1 January 1994. For these contracts, a predetermined amount of premium

    is paid and the reinsurer assumes nearly all or all of the potential variability in the underlying losses, and it is evident from reading the basic terms of the contract that the reinsurer can incur a significant loss. Contracts of over five years duration are classified as long-term,which can impact the accounting trnt, and can obviously introduce the possibility that over the entire term of thecontract, no actual risk will transfer. Ideally, the contract should contain anEntire Agreementclause that assures there are no undisclosed written or oral sireements that confer rights, create obligations, or create benefits on the partof either or both parties. The risk presented by any given person is assumed collectively by the community who all bear the cost of rebuilding lost property andsupporting people whose needs are suddenly greater after a loss of some kind. In this manner the community can even out the extreme differences in insurabilitythat exist among its members. If a government building was damaged, the cost of

    repair would be met from public funds because, in the long run, this was cheaper than paying insurance premiums. As a result, people may buy policies on unfavorable terms. Brokers represent the buyer (not the insurance company), and typically counsel the buyer on appropriate coverages, policy limitations. Unlike a broker, who represents the policyholder, an agent represents the insurance companyfrom whom the policyholder buys. Any factor that causes a greater likelihood ofloss should theoretically be charged a higher rate. For instance, insurers charge older people significantly higher premiums than they charge younger people forterm life insurance. Old people are likely to die sooner than young people, sothe risk of loss (the insured's death) is greater in any given period of time and therefore the risk premium must be higher to cover the greater risk. The failure to address the deficit may mean insolvency and hardship for all of a company's insureds. United States, which does not have socialized health coverage. The i

    nsurance company uses the information to assess the likelihood that a driver will have an accident and adjusts premiums accordingly. Progressive's telematics technology business process patents have questioned whether the business process patents are pareto efficient for society. The rate at which patents have issued has steadily risen from 15 in 2002 to 44 in 2006. That is, some insurance products or practices are useful primarily because of legal benefits, such as reducingtaxes, as opposed to providing protection against risks of adverse events. Sometimes this tax deferral is the only reason people use these products. Loss ratiois calculated by dividing the amount of losses (sometimes including loss adjustment expenses) by the amount of earned premium. However, bankruptcy of the insure
