Finite risk insurance
Okay kiddo, let's talk about something called Finite Risk Insurance. Basically, it’s like a special kind of insurance that companies buy to protect themselves from big financial losses.
Imagine you have a big piggy bank full of money, and you're afraid someone might steal it. So, you decide to put it in a special, super-safe lock box. This is kind of what companies do when they get Finite Risk Insurance.
The lock box represents the insurance company, and the money represents the company's money that they want to protect. The company pays the insurance company a certain amount of money each year, just like how you put coins in your piggy bank. However, the company doesn't just give the money to the insurance company and forget about it.
Instead, they put some rules in place on how the money can be used. These rules might say things like "you can only use this much money each year," or "you can only use the money if we have a really, really big financial loss." This is kind of like how your parents might say you can only take out some coins from your piggy bank for specific things like buying ice cream or a toy.
If something really bad happens to the company, like a natural disaster or a major lawsuit, they can use the money in the lock box to help pay for the costs. But, if nothing bad happens, the company gets their money back at the end of the policy period, just like how you get your coins back when you break open your piggy bank.
Basically, Finite Risk Insurance is like a special piggy bank where a company can save up money in case something bad happens, and if nothing bad happens, they get their money back.
