7 INSURANCE: Insurance, in law and economics, is a form of risk management primarily used to hedge against the risk of a contingent loss. Insurance is defined as the equitable transfer of the risk of a loss, from one entity to another, in exchange for a premium. An insurer is a company selling the insurance. The insurance rate is a factor used to determine the amount, called the premium, to be charged for a certain amount of insurance coverage. Risk management, the practice of appraising and controlling risk, has evolved as a discrete field of study and practice. Principles of insurance Commercially insurable risks typically share seven common characteristics. 1. A large number of homogeneous exposure units. The vast majority of insurance policies are provided for individual members of very large classes. Automobile insurance, for example, covered about 175 million automobiles in the United States in 2004. The existence of a large number of homogeneous exposure units allows insurers to benefit from the so-called law of large numbers, which in effect states that as the number of exposure units increases, the actual results are increasingly likely to become close to expected results. There are exceptions to this criterion. Lloyd's of London is famous for insuring the life or health of actors, actresses and sports figures. Satellite Launch insurance covers events that are infrequent. Large commercial property policies may insure exceptional properties for which there are no homogeneous exposure units. Despite failing on this criterion, many exposures like these are generally considered to be insurable. 2. Definite Loss. The event that gives rise to the loss that is subject to insurance should, at

least in principle, take place at a known time, in a known place, and from a known cause. The classic example is death of an insured person on a life insurance policy. Fire, automobile accidents, and worker injuries may all easily meet this criterion. Other types of losses may only be definite in theory. Occupational disease, for instance, may involve prolonged exposure to injurious conditions where no specific time, place or cause is identifiable. Ideally, the time, place and cause of a loss should be clear enough that a reasonable person, with sufficient information, could objectively verify all three elements. 8 3. Accidental Loss. The event that constitutes the trigger of a claim should be fortuitous, or at least outside the control of the beneficiary of the insurance. The loss should be pure, in the sense that it results from an event for which there is only the opportunity for cost. Events that contain speculative elements, such as ordinary business risks, are generally not considered insurable. 9

IMPORTANCE OF INSURANCE.

Insurance play very important role in the economic life of a nation. The growth of the economy is dependent upon the soundness of its banking system. Although insurance so not create new wealth but borrow, exchange and consume. These make generation of wealth. In this ay, they become most effective partners in the development of that country. To encourage the habit of saving and to mobilize these savings is its basic purpose. If there are no insurance companies, then there would be concentration of wealth in few hands great portion of wealth of a country would be idle. In the fewer developing countries rate of saving is very low and due to this rate of investment

and rate of growth is very low. We can take hank just like a heart in the economic structure and capital provided by it is like blood in it. As long as the blood is in circulation, the organs will remain sound and healthy. If the blood is not provided to any organ then the organ would become useless. So if the finance is not provided to agriculture sector or to industrial sector, it wills he destroyed. 10

FUTURE OUTLOOK OF THE COMPANY

Macro economic indicators of the country are showing constant improvements year on year. Pakistan is expected to achieve Gross Domestic Product growth of 7% for the fiscal year despite the earthquake which shook the whole nation in October2007. Our export products are performing better and better. Stock markets and real estate markets are moving upwards at an exceptional pace. Foreign investment is flowing in and the balance of Special Rupee Convertible Account is at the highest mark of US$ 400 million at the end of December 2007. Privatization of state owned entities are moving ahead. Overall economic environment of the country looks to be very positive. Despite all this, the insurance with the exception of Motor business is not growing rapidly. Motor business is still increasing steadily. As a result of the increase in imported vehicles, sales of motor vehicles in 2007 were even higher than the previous year. All these factors have made the market highly competitive. As you all are aware our Company is relatively new in the market as compared to our competitors. Insurance Companies historically takes time to build their reputation in the market and fetch business. However, we are confident the Company will continue to grow profitably and will provide a valuable service to

the policyholders 11
