Insurance

The term Insurance describes the basic principle of collective assumption of risk. This means that several people or companies pay a sum of money (an insurance premium) into an insurance policy in order to receive compensation from their insurer in case of an insured event.

Since many policyholders pay into the policy, but only some suffer insured events, the premium is affordable for the insured parties. Alfred Manes, economist and pioneer of insurance science, defines insurance as “eliminating the risk of an individual through the contributions of many”.

There are many different types of insurance that cover different risks in different areas.
