Industry groups give thumbs down to Obama's reinsurance proposals Royal Gazette
Date: 03.02.10
Bradley Kading, president of the Association of Bermuda Insurers and Reinsurers (ABIR), was responding to Monday's proposals that could raise the effective tax rate of Bermuda insurance groups with US subsidiaries and scale back a US federal backstop for terrorism insurance (TRIA).
An industry expert from ratings agency AM Best said that if the plans are enacted, the Bermuda market is likely to become "less competitive" because prices would have to rise to absorb the additional tax bill.
United Bermuda Party MP and former Finance Minister Grant Gibbons said the President's proposals would diminish Bermuda's appeal as a place to do business and he criticised the Bermuda Government's "inconsistent commitment" to lobbying of US lawmakers.
US consumer group the Risk and Insurance Managers Society (RIMS), whose membership is primarily corporate insurance buyers, said the proposal would increase the cost of insurance premiums.
What is Insurance Risk Management?
Hi friends, i am doing a dissertation on Insurance Risk Management and i wan to know the details regarding what exactly is Insurance Risk Management?
Insurance is only one of the techniques to handle risk. You use insurance to transfer risk to another entity.
The broader term is risk management. Risk management is a structured approach to managing uncertainty through, risk assessment, developing strategies to manage it, and mitigation of risk using managerial resources.
The strategies include transferring the risk to another party, avoiding the risk, reducing the negative effect of the risk, and accepting some or all of the consequences of a particular risk.
Some traditional risk managements are focused on risks stemming from physical or legal causes (e.g. natural disasters or fires, accidents, death and lawsuits).
Great resource is the Risk and Insurance Management Society

Which is the hardest field? Finance, International Business, Management, Insurance/Risk management, Real Est..
Finance, International Business, Economics, Management, Insurance/Risk Management, Real Estate, Marketing.
Which would you say is the hardest, especially during college? Which is best paid? Thanks!
With International Business, not only do you have to know your subject matter, like the other professions, but you need to know the culture, mannerisms, geography, some language of the target country.
If you are in real estate in Flat Rock, West Virginia you don't have to worry about your shoes.
But in certain countries of the world, people consider it an insult if you cross your legs and show the bottoms of your shoes. Or touch people/food with your left hand. You better know which countries.

what questions do I have to ask from an insurance company in order to know about their risk management?
If I wanna ask an insurance company about their risk management and how they manage the risks what questions do I have to ask'em?
I study insurance management and I have to talk to an insurance company to find out about their risk management but I don't know what questions I should ask!!! :D Can you help me plz?!!!
You'd do a lot better researching the general principles of risk management strategy before asking individual insurers (it's a huge subject)
You can read up on various principles through the IAIS which is pretty much the lead organisation in the world for setting requirements for insurers.
http://www.iaisweb.org/index.cfm?pageID=2
Also ..a personal tip .... although obviously rules are different from jurisdiction to jurisdiction, some of the most comprehensive and yet concise I've seen are the Australian ones (they are very hot on risk management in Aus).
You can read the guidance notes here....
http://www.apra.gov.au/General/General-Insurance-PPGs.cfm
That way you can target your questions and get a much better response
If you are worried about how sound the company is, then ask what their ratings are with the stock market.
Insurance loss control or risk management job in Colorado?
I'd like to get an insurance loss control or risk management job in Colorado. I have a degree in occupational, health and safety and have a number of certifications. I would like to get a job with and insurance company or independent company that provides loss control/ risk management services. I've been looking online at the standard job boards (monster.com, hotjobs.com, careerbuilder.com) with out much luck. Anybody have any other ideas?
Health insurance can be very tricky. Since I live in Minnesota I'm not familiar with the Colorado laws and regulations, so I suggest you call a local insurance agent. http://www.americaschoicetoday.com/Health-Insurance.html They will be able to help you.
What is the difference between risk management and insurance?
Risk management refers to a broad range of mitigation stradegies. One of these is insurance, that is you manage the risk by paying out a fixed sum incase something does occur, you can recoup your losses. Other risk management stradegies include identify risky investments and avoiding them. Also, developing mitigation plans, to reduce your risk. For example, if you owned a oil well in Nigeria, you might want to build a wall around it, to reduce your risk from rebel attack and theft. These are all examples of different ways to manage your risk, though insurance is the most welll known form.
I am doing a university degree in business where my major is risk management and insurance and my minor?
is financial services. When i recieve my degree what kind of salary would be looking to be on?? Also is there any exciting jobs i can do with this degree?
It depends on your area, but mostly you should go for a position in Commercial Underwriting. That will get your foot in the door for other oppurtunities and you should make good money. Most major insurance companies have training programs, again depending on your area.
What's the job title you can get after you major or get your degree in RISK MANAGEMENT AND INSURANCE?
I just need to find out what you call a person who graduates with that. Because I wanna find out the average salary.
You can be a risk manager, probably pays maybe $45-50 thousand a year to start, and it is a pretty well paying field. However you have to be a mean nasty person to be a risk manager. They are some of the nastiest people I have ever had to deal with. Good luck to you.

Principles for Reform of Catastrophic Natural Disaster Insurance
The private sector, state governments, and the federal government could take many actions short of creating a catastrophic hurricane fund (CAT) fund that would provide greater stability to the insurance market at a lower cost to most taxpayers. Those who assume the risk of living in higher risk areas should fully pay for that risk through actuarially sound insurance rates.
