Verified step by step guidance
1
Understand the different types of insurers and their ownership structures. Insurers can be categorized based on who owns them and how they operate.
Learn about mutual insurers: These are insurance companies owned by their policyholders. Profits are typically returned to policyholders in the form of dividends or reduced premiums.
Compare mutual insurers to stock insurers: Stock insurers are owned by shareholders, not policyholders. Their primary goal is to generate profits for shareholders.
Examine reciprocal insurers: These are groups of individuals or organizations that exchange insurance contracts and share risks. They are managed by an attorney-in-fact but are not owned by policyholders.
Understand Lloyd's associations: These are not insurers themselves but rather marketplaces where members underwrite insurance. Ownership is not tied to policyholders.
