Insurance

Risk is defined as volatility of outcome and thus includes both worse-than-expected as well as better-than-expected outcomes. Financial Risk may be taken as downside risk, the difference between the actual return and the expected return (when the actual return is less), or the uncertainty of that return. Greater the uncertainty greater is the risk.


How to manage risk ? The strategies to manage risk include transferring the risk to another party, avoiding the risk, reducing the negative effect or probability of the risk, or even accepting some or all of the consequences of a particular risk.

What is Insurance ?

Insurance is a form of risk management primarily used to hedge against the risk of a contingent, uncertain loss. Risk is important for insurance as it decides whether or not you need insurance. Risk is what insurance companies measure when determining whether or not to offer you insurance and how much will it cost.

Insurance is defined as the equitable transfer of the risk of a economic loss, from one entity to another, in exchange for payment. An insurer is a company taking risk; an insured, or policyholder, is the person or entity buying the insurance policy by giving premiums against transferring risk.

Financial Planning

Financial Planning is the process of taking holistic view of the financial needs of the individual and helping them with the appropriate solution to achieve their goals.

Individual’s financial goals includes retirement planning, funding children’s education, buying a property/house, buying a car, foreign trips etc. It also includes analyzing one’s insurance needs at various stages of life, thereby going for appropriate amount of insurance. Generally I have noticed that, individual have taken insurance as investment tool, but do they really serve you has a best investment tool. This kind of double purpose vehicle, neither provides adequate insurance nor works as an investment tool.

I want you to think, insurance as a tool to transfer your risk at minimal cost to respective insurance company. This kind of thinking will help you to give greater importance to insurance and be sincere about insurance planning.

In this world of ever changing economic conditions, have you given a thought, that which financial products suits you, what are risk and return ratios, and does it comply with inflations, tax implications etc.

In India, equity and debt markets have become more volatile due to global and domestic factors, thus calling for constant monitoring of the markets. Investment options are also increasing. Financial planner has to carefully access all the products available and match the puzzle with suitable proportions to meet client’s requirement. After the investment is made, monitoring the plan and rebalancing the portfolio over different market cycles, is the most important part, is followed throughout the life of the plan.
