The Global Risks Alliance (GRA) is a nonprofit business league for the financial services industry. It does not lend, underwrite, rate, invest, advise on or arrange transactions, and readiness work is not approval.
Insurance Nexus topics, and the question each answers.
- Insurance market structure explainedThe questionInsurance moves risk from those who cannot carry it to those who can pool or hold it.
- Underwriting and pricing risk in insuranceThe questionUnderwriting decides which risks an insurer accepts and on what terms; pricing sets the premium that should cover expected losses, expenses, the cost of capital and uncertainty.
- Property and casualty catastrophe exposureThe questionProperty and casualty insurance covers damage to physical assets and liability to others.
- Health and life insurance risk: longevityThe questionHealth and life insurance carry the risks of illness, disability, death and living longer than savings last.
- Claims handling and operational resilienceThe questionA claim is the moment an insurance promise is tested.
- Insurance protection gap: causes and costsThe questionA protection gap is the part of economic loss that no insurance covers.
- Climate and nature risk in insuranceThe questionClimate change shifts the frequency, intensity and location of the hazards insurers cover, and nature loss removes buffers such as wetlands, mangroves and forests that once reduced damage.
- AI in insurance: insurtech and model riskThe questionData, automation and machine learning now reach every step of insurance: distribution, underwriting, pricing, claims and fraud detection.
- Takaful risk and governance explainedThe questionTakaful is insurance organised on principles of mutual assistance consistent with Islamic commercial law.
Topic pages in Insurance Nexus share one structure: mechanisms, indicators, sources, methods, decisions and limits, written for underwriters and portfolio managers and catastrophe and pricing actuaries.
