Life Insurance policies will pay out on the death of an individual which may or may not happen during a particular time period. The sum paid out may be fixed or may reduce over the time of the policy. Life Assurance provides ‘whole of life’ cover and will pay out to the beneficiary on the death of an individual. Ted outlines the different types of life insurance policies, for example, universal life coverage and endowment life policies.

Is life insurance short or long tail?

Life insurance (and assurance) is, by its nature, a long tail business.  As a result the performance of the underlying investments and their return will play a significant role in pricing of these policies.

What are the different types of policies available?

There are many different types of life assurance and insurance policies available – designed to meet the specific needs of the policy holder and/or the beneficiaries.  These include: term insurance, whole life assurance, universal life coverage, endowment life policies and with profits policies.
