Introduction:- In 1932, Mr. Ghulam Mohammad, a far sighted man, established Eastern Federal Union Insurance Company (EFU) with financial assistance from the Aga Khan III and the Nawab of Bhopal. Mr. Abdur Rehman Siddiqui became the founder chairman. The company was originally registered at Kolkata and operated in India (undivided) and Burma. In 1947, on the birth of Pakistan, EFU found a new home in a new country. In Pakistan, EFU rapidly established itself as a progressive and innovative insurer.

...CLASSES OF INSURANCE LIFE INSURANCE This is a contract between the policy owner and the insurer, where the insurer agrees to pay a sum of money upon the occurrence of the insured individual’s or individual’s death. It is the risk pooling plan and economic device through which the risk of premature death is transferred from the individual to a group In return the policy owner or policy payer agrees to pay a stipulated amount called a premium at regular intervals or in lump sums (so-called “paid up” insurance). A life insurance contract is intended to meet the needs of survivors or beneficiaries, when the investor dies. From the life insurance contract, the beneficiaries receive a sum of money that far exceeds the value of the premiums the investor had paid. The beneficiaries, of course, receive this benefit if the person insured dies during the contract period. The contract of life insurance is different from other types of insurance in the following respects. The event insurer against is an eventual certainty i.e. nobody lives forever. It is not the possibility of death that is insured against; rather, it’s the untimely death. The risk is not whether the insured person is going to die but when. The risk increases as the individual ages or grows older because chances of death are greater in later years than in initial years. There is no possibility of partial loss in life as in the case of property and liability insurance. Therefore, if a loss occurs under life...

...Honeywell, Inc. and Integrated Risk Management Case Analysis Submitted to: Prof. A. Kanagaraj By Vivek Gupta Section C, 944 Executive Summary: Honeywell was a multibillion-dollar, International Corporation employing 53000 people and managing operations in 95 countries. It was the largest producer of control systems and products used to regulate heating and air conditioning in commercial buildings and of systems in avionics systems. Carrying out business in 95 countries firm faced a number of risks. Honeywell’s risk management activities were dispersed throughout the firm as shown in the table. Other risks were managed operationally. [pic] The committee voting for this new program depends on whether the anticipated savings of the program would be realized, and whether the coverage provided by the new contract would be adequate. The proposed plan is a first step in a firm wide integrated risk management program that would extend to cover all of Honeywell’s financial and operational risks, the finance committee’s decision would establish Honeywell’s risk management strategy for some years to come. Honeywell’s existing strategy was consistent with its risk management objective of minimizing earnings volatility and its cost of risk. The team wondered about the applicability of the relatively new concept of enterprise risk management, which is grouping many risks together into a portfolio of risks, rather than managing each risk separately. The team thought...

...and Marine Insurance Company Time Frame: 2001 to 2002 The case happened on between 2001 to 2002. Taisei Marine and Fire InsuranceIn November 2001, following the September, 11th 2001 (“9/11”) terrorist attack on the World Trade Center, Taisei Fire and Marine Insurance Co (TFMI) collapsed, due to catastrophic insurance claims of $2.5 billion. TFMI, together with two other Japanese companies, had a management agreement with Fortress Re, which pooled the funds of the companies to share the risks of reinsuring aviation portfolios. All four planes that crashed on the World Trade Center and other sites during the 9/11 attack were reinsured in the Fortress Re pool. During this period, Taisei ascribed its failure - only the second bankruptcy in Japanese non-life insurance since World War II - to the freak events of 11 September. The expected loss from reinsurance was caused purely by the terrorist attacks and we could not foresee that such a huge loss would be generated because the four airplanes simultaneously crashed. The participated companies’ lack of skills in management of Fortress Re and their limited understanding of liabilities in the pool were revealed after the event. Apparently, TFMI had completely relied on Fortress Re’s management decisions. Even though it was true that the unforeseen nature of terrorist attack was a trigger for TFMI’s bankruptcy, this event showed that delegating the entire authority of managing the pool to the Fortress Re management added considerable...

...Background of insurance industry of bd Insurance is not a new idea or proposition to the people of Bangladesh. About half a century back, during the British regime in the then India, some insurance companies started insurance business, particularly life, in this part of the world. Since 1947 until 1971 insurance business gained momentum in this part of what was then known as East Pakistan. There were about 49 companies transacting both life and general insurance business. These companies were operating under a free competitive economy. After the emergence of the People’s Republic of Bangladesh in 1971, the government, in order to make available the fruit of liberation to the general mass, nationalized the insurance industry along with the banks in 1972 by Presidential Order No. 95. By virtue of this order, save and accept postal life insurance and foreign life insurance companies (other than the Pakistani companies), all companies and organization transacting all types of insurance business in Bangladesh came under this nationalization order. At the same time, five insurance corporations were initially established by the Government, viz, Jatiya Bima Corporation (National Insurance Corporation), Teesta Bima Corporation (Teesta Insurance Corporation), Karnaphuli Bima Corporation (Karnaphuli Insurance Corporation), Rupsa Jiban Bima Corporation (Rupsa Life Insurance Corporation), Surma Jiban Bima Corporation (Surma Life Insurance Corporation).

Abstract Enterprise risk management (ERM) increases shareholder value. In this study we test whether ERM influences insurers’ stock market performance. The results indicate that insurers’ stock market performance is linked to the characteristic of industry events and specific firm characteristics rather than to the success of ERM. In this study the 2007–2008 subprime mortgage and financial market crisis was found unique compared to other industry events. The study recommends further research on the methodology of determining the value ...

...Risk Management Students Name Course Tutor Date Philosophy/Policy Statement Risk management is a process that involves risk assessment and a mitigation strategy for the risks. This means that identification of potential risk and evaluation of the impact of the risk is necessary. This is what is called risk assessment. A mitigation strategy is a plan that has designed and put in place to minimize the impact of the potential risk events or the adverse effects of a risk on a project. Risks in a project are unpredictable. Some are yet to happen, and some will not occur. This means that one has to get prepared to deal with any risks. The underlying philosophy of handling risk is avoiding, mitigating transferring and accepting. Avoiding means that if prevention of the happenings of the risk is possible, then that would be the best option. If it cannot be prevented or avoided, taking action so that the risk will do little harm to a project would be the other option known as mitigation. The other effective way is to pay another party to accept it. This is called transfer and are such as insurance. Lastly, if the risk cannot be solved by transfer, avoidance or mitigation then one has to accept it. This means you have to face the risk although have other alternatives when this happens. Needs Assessment Needs assessment in risk management is an essential process for any company. This is an important tool that helps in identifying the lapses in various areas of risk management...

And meanwhile, our planet must still supply us – and all living things – with air, water, food and safe places to live.
