Book excerpt: This article looks at insurance companies in the UK. The insurance industry is an important contributor to the economy, a major employer and a significant source of overseas earnings. Insurance industry helps businesses to protect themselves from risk and provides a wide range of services to people. But what is the mean of the term insurance? Insurance is a service and a promise to pay if the insured event occurs. This means that the purpose of insurance is to help to manage the negative effects of risk on our personal and working lives. Insurance is a highly effective risk-transfer mechanism because it allows for the effects of the risk to be passed from the insured to the insurer. In return for accepting this risk, the insurer charges a premium that reflects the level of risk it is accepting from the insured. Insurance is an intangible product. There is no physical evidence of the purchase beyond a policy document. An insurance company or insurer or underwriter is the business, which takes on the risks in the insurance policy. In contrast, an intermediary sells or advises on insurance policies. Examples of intermediaries are: insurance brokers, insurance consultants, independent financial advisers, accounts and solicitors, banks and building societies, travel agents, and estate agents.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fire had always been one of the greatest threats to an early modern British society that relied on the naked flame as the prime source of heating, lighting and cooking. Yet whilst the danger of fire had always been taken seriously, it was not until the start of the eighteenth century that a sophisticated system of insurance became widely available. Whilst a number of high profile fires during the seventeenth century had drawn attention to the economic havoc a major conflagration could wreak, it was not until the effects of sustained industrialization began to alter the economic and social balance of the nation, that fire insurance really took off as a concept. The culmination of ten years of research, this book is the definitive work on early British fire insurance. It also provides a foundation for future comparative international studies of this important financial service, and for a greater level of theorising by historians about the relationship between insurance, perceptions of risk, economic development and social change. Through a detailed study of the archives of nearly 50 English and Scottish insurance companies founded between 1696 and 1850 - virtually all the records currently available - together with the construction of many new datasets on output, performance and markets, this book presents one of the most comprehensive histories ever written of a financial service. As well as measuring the size, market structure and growth rate of insurance, and the extent to which the first industrial revolution was insured, it also demonstrates ways in which insurance can be linked into wider issues of economic and social change in Britain. These range from an examination of the joint-stock company form of organization - to an analysis of changing attitudes towards fire hazard during the course of the eighteenth century. The book concludes by emphasising the ambivalent character of fire insurance in eighteenth and early nineteenth century Britain, contrasting the industry's dynamic long-run rate of growth with its more conservative attitude to product design and diversification.

Book excerpt: Originally published in 1979, The Investment Behaviour of British Life Insurance Companies provides a critical analysis of the investment policy of the life insurance industry for the period of 1962-76, and attempts to construct an econometric model of the investment behaviour. It looks at the portfolio composition of life funds and their position in the markets for securities in terms of their gross purchases and sales and net acquisitions. It also considers the principles on which life offices appear to operate the principles on which life offices appear to operate in respect of investing their ‘reserves’ to meet future contingent liabilities. This book will appeal to those working in the field of economic and business.
