What is insurance and principles of insurance?

Insurance is the concept that it is better to pool together uncertain risk and spread risk among many in order to better protect against uncertainty.It is vastly easier to budget for limited loss by mathematical probability that an event will occur to a limited number of people and spreading that risk than it is to prepare for unlimited risk to occur to one person.There are seven basic principles of insurance, which include subrogation, insurable interest, contribution and utmost good faith; in addition to indemnity, nearest cause, and minimization of loss. These principles are meant to safeguard insurance contracts.


What is the adverse selection problem and how does it impact the insurance industry?

The adverse selection problem occurs when individuals with higher risks are more likely to seek insurance coverage than those with lower risks. This can lead to higher costs for insurance companies, as they may end up covering a disproportionate number of high-risk individuals. As a result, insurance premiums may increase for everyone, making insurance less affordable for those who are lower risk. This can create challenges for the insurance industry in maintaining a balanced risk pool and pricing policies effectively.

Why is there a need for house insurance?

Insurance companies are in the business in accepting your risk in exchange for an insurance premium. You have the risk of loss in loosing your home to fire, theft, windstorm, flood, lightning, etc and by purchasing a policy you are transferring this risk of loss to the insurance company who agrees to rebuild your home or give you the funds to do so. The liability coverage also transfers the risk of liability loss from yourself to the insurance company. If someone came to your home and was injured on your steps by falling and you were negligent by not securing the steps properly and putting sturdy handrails on the steps. The insurance company protects you by providing your defense costs plus it pays any damages to the claimant if you are found negligent and required to pay a judgement by the courts.

Why is insurance cover necessary?

Insurance is simply the management of risk. By purchasing an insurance policy you are transferring risk to the insurance company for a price or premium paid. Insurance companies work like a coop in that they take the risk from many people and pool it together. The risk of one person dying for instance is hard to figure but the risk of a large number of people is much easier to figure. Using statistics, an insurance company can figure how many people out of a large group will die in any particular year. This way they are able to accept your risk of dying and contractually agree to a certain payment if you do die for a relatively smaller price. Life insurance is easier to compute that other types of insurance. Why? You will only die once and the company knows what they will pay. In auto insurance you can have more than one wreck and the payment required can vary greatly.

How much is needed to start an insurance company in Zimbabwe?

Obviously an insurance company need to be able to "pay out" in the case of a valid claim. Therefore the funds ultimately needed are those needed to cover the entire risk. The way it works is the risk is spread amongst a large pool of underwriters (who can afford to lose the amount staked), who for putting their money up for the risk get a percentage return each year from the client premiums. One also needs a team of assessors to look at claims and make sure there is no fraud going on. Thus an insurance business needs to have a handle on the risk relating to the insurance policies and a pool of underwriters, it is a complex business to get into and not just "an amount of money" need to start a business.
