Introduction • Malo • FPI • PHD • GIP • Yesterday: We learned “Why We Need Insurance” • Today: We learn some “Insurance Risk Management Basics” • But first: Some traditional insurance jokes (as this is going to be a much harder session)
Insurance Risk Management: • Some risks can be insured. • Some of the physical damage, consequential loss, crime and legal liability risks can be transferred onto the insurance industry • When accepting the transfer of risk, prudent insurers apply the basic principles of insurance underwriting: “Premium, terms and conditions commensurate with the risk” • The lower the risk the softer the premium, terms and conditions. The higher the risk the harder the premium, termsand conditions. • FPI will partner with you to not only underwrite your insurance risks, but to work with you to improve your risk.
Risk Improvement • “The majority of all loss is preventable” • “It is better to prevent a loss than recover from one” • “Look back to the past for instruction, and forward to the future for improvement” - Zechariah Allen, founder of FM Global 150 years ago. • “A CEO said ‘I got to take care of our bottom line’ our response ‘if you do not take these matters for improvement seriously, you may not have a bottom line to worry about’” • “Risk improvement benefits not only ongoing viability of a business, but ensures employees continue to have a job (and income) and the community does not suffer from a business loss from within its midst” - Noel Shakespeare, Risk Survey Services Limited, Upper Hutt
Risk Improvement = Loss Mitigation = • Loss prevention • Loss minimisation or reduction
The King of Risk Managers • Is - Jesus The Christ (Yeshua Messiah) • Parable of “The Wise & Foolish Builders” – Matthew 8:24
