Frequently Asked Questions
-
Investing in large insurance businesses is often regarded as safe. The steady stream of capital from policyholders provides ample cash flow to cover liabilities while also fuelling an investment portfolio to deliver growth.

However, the inability to correctly judge the quality of policyholders before issuing insurance can quickly start building up bad clients, potentially compromising the precious cash flow.
