What Executives Think About Insurance • Pros • “Insurance helps us maintain our budgets.” • “Insurance is a great financial tool. It’s very leveraged.” • “Insurance recoveries are essential when you have had a large loss.” • “Insurance works best when other risk management initiatives don’t.” Transurance Services, LLC
What Executives Think About Insurance • Cons • “Insurance recoveries are never enough.” • “Insurance policies are hard to understand.” • “Settling claims is slow and painful.” • “Many types of loss are difficult or impossible to prove.” • “The broader my coverage, the harder it is to get paid.” Transurance Services, LLC
What Executives Think About Insurance • Wishes • “Payments should be more certain, like other financial contracts.” • “I would like to buy more insurance but not if it involves more hassle or if I do not know what I am getting.” • “I would like to retain more risk, but I’m concerned about all of the expenses that will not be reimbursed by insurance when I have a large loss.” Transurance Services, LLC
Interpreting These Comments • Companies have significant damages that are collateral to covered loss events but that are not paid by their insurance. • These damages are difficult to define, prove, or measure. • They want more coverage to pay for these damages. • They want a means of insuring these damages that: • Combines economic efficiency with payment certainty • Does not involve more hassle Transurance Services, LLC
Transurance • Transurance is a new form of agreed value insurance • It supplements traditional insurance to pay for “collateral damages” that are not covered. • The payout is a pre-agreed percentage of the recovery from a traditional insurance policy so the loss does not need to be proved. • The proceeds can be used as the policyholder sees fit. • The cost is the same pre-agreed percentage of the referenced insurance premiums. • Transurance can be applied to any type of insurance. Transurance Services, LLC
