When insurance is taken out, the insured pays a premium to the insurer to
cover the risk of a specific event that may occur
(premium based on personal needs, risk profile of customer, value of the asset)
INDEMNIFIED – The insured will be in the same financial position as before the
loss occurred
Insurance –
This is INcase something happens
The events may/may not happen
The insured will be indemnified in case of the risk occurring
EXAMPLES: theft, fire, motor, house
Assurance –
Managing events that are certain to happen
Managing the risk of our loved ones being without income if we die
Managing the risk of being unable to maintain a decent standard of
living after retirement
EXAMPLES: Life policy, endowment plans, annuity plans
