Understanding the Insurance Industry: From Regulations to Operations (ABEN)

Course #106854 | 3 P&C

Insurance is regulated at the state level, but this has not always been the case. Philosophical differences regarding antitrust and regulation in general have altered the course of insurance regulation twice in the last 80 years.

Within this heavily regulated industry, three distinct types or "styles" of insurance exist in the modern economy: 1) Private; 2) Social; and 3) Public Guarantee Insurance. Other than most "public gurantee" schemes, insurance carriers provide the majority of insurance products consumed in the US. 

Insurance carriers juggle five main functions and, to varying degress, three minor functions. Major functions include: ratemaking; new business production; underwriting; loss adjustment; and investing. Minor carrier functions include engineering and loss control; legal counsel; and accounting.
