Life Insurance and Reinsurance

Overview:

Introduction:

Life insurance and reinsurance represent structured financial systems designed to manage mortality related and portfolio based risks. Life insurance provides contractual coverage frameworks for individuals through defined benefit structures, while reinsurance supports risk transfer mechanisms between insurers to maintain solvency and operational stability. These systems function within regulatory, actuarial, and institutional parameters that govern risk classification, reserve adequacy, and compliance standards. This training program introduces the core structures of life insurance and reinsurance, focusing on policy classification, risk assessment, treaty structuring, regulatory alignment, and industry wide financial governance.
