  commercial insurance lines of business: Fundamentals of the Insurance Business Massimiliano Maggioni, Giuseppe Turchetti, 2024-10-19 This textbook presents the fundamental economic dimensions of insurance companies and links them to managerial issues. Combining academic rigour and a strongly practice-oriented approach, it addresses both the competitive environment and the management of the insurance business. Further, it provides a general overview of insurance undertakings and technical topics are explained in depth. Filling an important gap in the market for textbooks on the insurance business, it is divided into four parts and 35 chapters. Part I (chapters 1 to 10) describes the fundamentals of the business, how the industry works, the Authorities and the regulations. It presents the insurance products (for life, non-life retail, and non-life commercial lines). Part II (chapters 11 to 17) explains the pricing and reserving for life and non-life insurance. Reinsurance business is also illustrated. Part III (chapters 18 to 25) describes business models in the industry and the organizational structures. The main processes of an insurance company (product development, underwriting, claims settlement, investments) are presented. Marketing and distribution are also described. Part IV (chapters 26 to 35) defines the financial statement and introduces IFRS principles. Solvency II calculation, ALM model, and Embedded Value are explained in detail. This part also describes management accounting, performance indicators, and the Business Plan in the insurance industry. The book offers a valuable resource for lower and upper undergraduate students, graduate students, professionals/practitioners working at insurance companies, insurance agents, brokers, bankers, and consultants.

  commercial insurance lines of business: Strategy Beyond the Hockey Stick Chris Bradley, Martin Hirt, Sven Smit, 2018-02-06 Beat the odds with a bold strategy from McKinsey & Company Every once in a while, a genuinely fresh approach to business strategy appears —legendary business professor Richard Rumelt, UCLA McKinsey & Company's newest, most definitive, and most irreverent book on strategy—which thousands of executives are already using—is a must-read for all C-suite executives looking to create winning corporate strategies. Strategy Beyond the Hockey Stick is spearheading an empirical revolution in the field of strategy. Based on an extensive analysis of the key factors that drove the long-term performance of thousands of global companies, the book offers a ground-breaking formula that enables you to objectively assess your strategy's real odds of future success. This book is fundamental. The principles laid out here, with compelling data, are a great way around the social pitfalls in strategy development. —Frans Van Houten, CEO, Royal Philips N.V. The authors have discovered that over a 10-year period, just 1 in 12 companies manage to jump from the middle tier of corporate performance—where 60% of companies reside, making very little economic profit—to the top quintile where 90% of global economic profit is made. This movement does not happen by magic—it depends on your company's current position, the trends it faces, and the big moves you make to give it the strongest chance of vaulting over the competition. This is not another strategy framework. Rather, Strategy Beyond the Hockey Stick shows, through empirical analysis and the experiences of dozens of companies that have successfully made multiple big moves, that to dramatically improve performance, you have to overcome incrementalism and corporate inertia. A different kind of book—I couldn't put it down. Inspiring new insights on the facts of what it takes to move a company's performance, combined with practical advice on how to deal with real-life dynamics in management teams. —Jane Fraser, CEO, Citigroup Latin America

  commercial insurance lines of business: Understanding the Commercial General Liability Policy Dwight Kealy, 2015-04-23 The Commercial General Liability (CGL) Insurance Policy is the standard business policy used to pay claims for bodily injury or property damage to others. The policy is divided into three coverage sections-each with its own exclusions-and a supplementary payments section. Do you ever hear-or worry-that an insurance company will not pay a claim because coverage is excluded? In order to know how claims are paid, you need to understand the policy's insuring agreements and exclusions. In this book, attorney and insurance professional Dwight M. Kealy explains the insuring agreements in Coverage A, B, and C. He gives memorable examples of every standard exclusion-and some significant non-standard exclusions. He explains every supplementary payment, and he explains how policy limits impact how claims are paid.
  commercial insurance lines of business: Insuring Tomorrow Tony Cañas, Carly Burnham, 2017-06-02 For several years, the Property Casualty Insurance Industry has been talking about a looming talent crisis. Today, crisis is no longer looming, it's very much here. The average age of an insurance professional is around 60 years old and the number of insurance pros over 55 has increased by 74% in the decade before 2012. Making things worse insurance has a bad reputation in society and only 4% of Millennials report having an interest in working in the industry. In the last few years we have been hiring thousands of Millennials, but we haven't done a good job of engaging them and retaining them in the industry. This is your guidebook to not only keep your Millennials but grow them and help them fall in love with the insurance industry. Carly and Tony have been immersed in the topic for over five years, and since 2015 have been running the popular insurance blog InsNerds.com. Tony has also been speaking at industry conferences about how to engage and retain Millennials in the industry. His session has been described as fascinating, interesting and hilarious by audiences all over the country. But an hour long presentation doesn't allow enough depth to really dig into the problem. This deeply researched book is our answer to this perplexing problem. Written in the easy to read style of InsNerds while also being informative, engaging and full of answers to the most perplexing questions and concerns about growing the next generation of insurance superstars. Finally, here is the answer to the most important insurance question of our time: Where will our future leaders come from?
  commercial insurance lines of business: Ten Years to Midnight Blair H. Sheppard, 2020-08-04 “Shows how humans have brought us to the brink and how humanity can find solutions. I urge people to read with humility and the daring to act.” —Harpal Singh, former Chair, Save the Children, India, and former Vice Chair, Save the Children International In conversations with people all over the world, from government officials and business leaders to taxi drivers and schoolteachers, Blair Sheppard, global leader for strategy and leadership at PwC, discovered they all had surprisingly similar concerns. In this prescient and pragmatic book, he and his team sum up these concerns in what they call the ADAPT framework: Asymmetry of wealth; Disruption wrought by the unexpected and often problematic consequences of technology; Age disparities--stresses caused by very young or very old populations in developed and emerging countries; Polarization as a symptom of the breakdown in global and national consensus; and loss of Trust in the institutions that underpin and stabilize society. These concerns are in turn precipitating four crises: a crisis of prosperity, a crisis of technology, a crisis of institutional legitimacy, and a crisis of leadership. Sheppard and his team analyze the complex roots of these crises--but they also offer solutions, albeit often seemingly counterintuitive ones. For example, in an era of globalization, we need to place a much greater emphasis on developing self-sustaining local economies. And as technology permeates our lives, we need computer scientists and engineers conversant with sociology and psychology and poets who can code. The authors argue persuasively that we have only a decade to make headway on these problems. But if we tackle them now, thoughtfully, imaginatively, creatively, and energetically, in ten years we could be looking at a dawn instead of darkness.

  commercial insurance lines of business: Corporate Governance in the European Insurance Industry O. Ricci, 2014-10-21 Corporate scandals at the beginning of the 2000s and the recent global financial crisis have renewed the attention of academics, regulators and practitioners to agency problems and possible solutions in the financial sector. Since that time, much thought has been given to new regulations and international corporate governance standards, in an attempt to guarantee prudent and sound financial management. While much of this thought has been focussed on the banking sector, Corporate Governance in the European Insurance Industry provides a unique perspective on the subject, focusing on the insurance industry and asking some important theoretical and practical questions. Are insurance companies systemically relevant, and does the existing regulation provide adequate protection for customers and guarantee financial stability? Is regulatory intervention consistent with economic and financial theories? And crucially, is this intervention consistent with empirical evidence of the behaviour and performance of insurance companies? The first part of this book provides the reader with a comprehensive review of current academic studies on the topic; the second part moves on to examine the regulation of corporate governance and its recent evolution after the global financial crisis. Within a context of vivid debate in the financial services industry, the issues explored in this book will be of value to anyone with an interest in insurance corporate governance and regulation. It is also a key source of research for academics in insurance and finance, as well as PhD students and post-graduate students in relevant subjects.
