TIPS FOR INVESTING IN INSURANCE POLICIES

Investing in the form of payment of premium against various types of insurance policies is considered to be one of the best types of investments. Insurance is a form of risk management provided by a company against certain payment (usually called insurance premium) by a person(s) usually called insured(s) for one of the various types of insurances where in the case of certain loss of person or property of the insured(s) the insurance company pays certain amount to the insured (or his/her nominee(s) in accordance with the agreement laid down in the terms and conditions of a certain insurance policy. Major benefits of such insurances is that the insured gets additional extra money for the losses sustained by them. In the cases of losses of property the insured himself gets compensated while in the case of death of the insured his beneficiary or beneficiaries. Insurance is done all over the world mostly by local companies in accordance with terms and conditions of each country. In order to cover themselves against potential losses the insurance companies get themselves insured with international companies and the insurance done by them is called Reinsurance.

Amongst several types of insurance coverage the following are the most important ones a brief description of which is given below:

• Life Insurance: This type of insurance is done by an individual for insurance of his/her life where in the case of death of the individual certain amount as per terms of the insurance policy is paid to the nominated beneficiary(s) of the insured. However, in the case of the maturity of the policy certain amount as per terms of the policy is paid to the insured. Term Life Insurance provides for covering the current family or business needs. On the maturity of that period the insured can either drop the policy for pay annually increasing premium to continue the coverage. The insured’s beneficiary gets full benefit of the coverage in case of death.

• Death Insurance or Accidental Death Insurance or Disability Insurance: This type of insurance policy is usually done by a company for their employees where in the case of death by accident or otherwise a certain amount is paid to the nominated beneficiaries of the insured. In the case of disability insurance, certain amount as per terms of the insurance policy is paid to the insured.
