Study Notes
- This edition incorporates web updates issued up to 31 May 2024
- This edition is based on the 2024 examination syllabus, and can be examined between 1 January 2024 until 31 December 2024
Fundamental Principles of Insurance
- Risk is used in different ways in the insurance marketplace
- There is no universally recognised definition for the term risk
- Risk management includes measurement and ways of dealing with the risks
Definition of Risk
- Owning a building brings multiple risks, such as:
- Fire and flood damage
- Injury to someone working or visiting
- Third-party damage from falling parts
- Each represents a risk that can be insured via risk transfer
Risk transfer mechanism
- Insurer's acceptance of future potential risk for an agreed premium
- The term 'risk' can also mean:
- Peril insured (fire, collision)
- Subject-matter of insurance (factory, ship, liability)
- Thing insured and scope of cover required
Attitude to Risk
- Individual attitude varies
- Risk-seeking: willing to carry risks,
- Risk-averse: minimizing risk
Risk Management
- Formal strategy for managing business risks
- Risk managers are commonly appointed in industry/commerce
- Members of the Association of Insurance Risk Managers (AIRMIC)
- Involves deciding to transfer risks through insurance
Function of Risk Management
- May be defined as the identification, analysis, and economic control of risks that threaten assets or earning capacity
- Should address methodically all risks surrounding the firm’s activities
- Involves identification, analysis, and control
Risk Identification
- Discovering existing and potential future threats
- Not all risks are insurable, but must be managed
Risk Analysis
- Risk managers examine past data to evaluate or analyse the risk
Risk Control
- Action put in place to control, reduce, or eliminate risk
- Elimination is most effective, but may be costly or impracticable
- The cost of doing so is reasonable compared to the cost of the feared event
Components of Risk
- Need a deeper understanding of the meaning of risk, and to take a closer look at the various components of risk
Uncertainty
- Implies doubt about the future because there is an incomplete ability to predict what is going to happen
Level of Risk
- Relates to the different levels of risk that exist.
- Risk is usually assessed on the basis of:
- Frequency – describes how often it will happen
- Severity – describes how serious it will be if it does happen
Significance of Frequency and Severity
- Frequency and severity profiles are important to insurers, they wish their businesses to be as free as possible from great peaks and troughs
Categories of Risk
- Not every type of risk or eventuality is insurable.
- Financial vs non-financial risks, pure vs speculative risks, particular vs fundamental risks
Peril and Hazard
- Peril - gives rise to a loss, e.g. fire or flood
- Hazard - influences the operation/effect of the peril
- Physical Hazard: relates to physical characteristics of the risk
- Moral Hazard: arises from attitude/behaviour of people, often the insured person
Financial and Non-Financial Risks
- Some risks cannot be fiscally measured
- Real risk stems from other considerations
- Insurable risks must be measurable financially, and general insurances are compensatory
Pure and Speculative Risks
- Pure risks involve a possibility of loss, where the goal is to break even
- Speculative risks involve activities to make a gain along with a possibility of failure
Particular and Fundamental Risks
- Particular risks: Localised/personal in cause and effect, like damage to specific properties in a storm
- Fundamental risks: Widespread with social, economic, political or natural causes, like famine or war which are uninsurable
Features of Insurable Risks
- Must be financial, pure, and particular and also be a fortuitous event, insurable interest, not against public policy, the risk must generally not be a one-off
Fortuitous Event
- Accidental/unexpected, not inevitable
Insurable Interest
- Legally recognised financial relationship between insured and insured object/liability
Public Policy
- Contracts must not be against public policy
- Insurers should not cover risks that are against public policy
Homogeneous Exposures
- Sufficient exposures to similar risks allow insurers to forecast future losses: "objective risks"
- Without homogeneous exposures, determining a pattern is harder
- Homogeneous exposures are an ideal, not absolute requirement for insurability
Pooling of Risk
- Concept: Losses of the few are met by contributions of the many exposed to similar loss
- Contributions (premiums) from many insureds create a pool
- Payments from pool compensate losses of the few
- Ensure premium relates to introduced risk
Law of Large Numbers
- Insurers benefit, as the number of similar situations increases, the number of actual events will tend towards the expected number
Equitable Premiums
- Pool setup: one for each main risk group
- Joining pool: Each insured makes equitable contribution
- Deciding on contribution: Insurers use discrimination factors
Reasons For Buying Insurance
- Decision to purchase, or not to purchase insurance is based on:
- Attitude to risk
- Price for peace of mind
- Choice about insuring
Primary Functions of Insurance
- Spreading the risk, provide degree of certainty, transferring risk
Secondary Functions of Insurance
- Companies don't have to set aside large sums of money, companies can confidently look to expand their business, jobs are protected, losses are reduced in size and number, insurers are largely investors of funds, "invisible" exports
Compulsory Insurance
- Certain forms of insurance are compulsory
Motor Insurance
- Illegal to use vehicle on public road without insurance (Road Traffic Act 1988)
Employer's Liability Insurance
- Compulsory for GB employers to cover employee injury/disease (Employers' Liability (Compulsory Insurance) Act 1969)
Professional Indemnity Insurance

Basic Insurance Legal Principles and Terminology
- English contract law governs deals/agreements between two parties
- Insurance contract: agreement enforceable by law between insured/insurer
Essentials of Valid Contract
- Two most important ones are offer and acceptance, and consideration Contract Essentials
- Intention to create a legal agreement: parties act deliberately
- Possibility of performance: agreement must be feasible
- Capacity to enter into legal relations: parties have legal capacity
- Consensus ad idem: both parties agree on the same thing
- Legality: contract must be legal
- Certainty: terms must be clear

- Legal right to insure from financial relationship between insured and subject-matter
Features of Insurable Interest

Creation of Insurable Interest
- Common law, contract, statute
Duties of Disclosure During Contract Negotiation
- Apply equally to proposer/insurer
- Openness and transparency in sharing risk info
- Fair presentation of the risk
- Consumer Insurance (Disclosure and Representations) Act 2012
- Insured duty to take care not to misrepresent
The Insurance Act
- The Act states the insured cannot data dump on the insurer
- the insurer has to consider whether the presentation invites to be asked further questions; the burden to ensure those questions is on the insurer, if needed
Examples of Information That Does Not Need to be Disclosed
- Matters of law, state of war exists etc, factors that lessen the risk
Remediation
- Under the Act, there are a number of remedies for breach of the duty of fair presentation
- First decision - was the breach deliberate or reckless?
- Second decision - did the breach took place as part of the original risk placement or in relation to any variation of the contract?
Remedial Placement
- Insurer can avoid policy ab initio and retain premium if breach was deliberate/reckless
- Insurer must return premium to prevent the insurer from entering into the contract at all if the correct information had been presented
Variation
- A variation or change to an insurance contract can occur at any point after the original placement is concluded.
- A variation can be anything from a simple change, such as the correction of a spelling mistake, or something more substantial, such as adding a new asset to an insurance policy.

Excess
- A deductible is deducted last if there is underinsurance or any other policy term that limits or reduces a loss, and an excess or deductible applies to the same loss
Franchise
- Operates the same way, however it differs once the claim value exceeds the franchise value In general, policies that contain an excess will pay up to the policy limit over and above the excess building
Contribution Definition
- The insurers endeavor to makes a financial contribution to allow others to call upon
How Contribution Arises
- Common subject-matter of the insurance, there must be common insurable interest, both policies must be liable for the loss, insurance must be insured against common perils
