With so much that has happened over the last year in the financial markets people are very apprehensive about many financial institutions. The great thing about Insurance is they are required to has reserves to make sure they can pay the claims of their policyholders. Read the explanation below that helps explain why Insurance has other built in protections as opposed to other industries.
The reserve in a life insurance contract of policy is the amount of money needed to offset the difference between the present value of future benefits and the present value of future net level premiums. Ya I know a little confusing? So at the beginning of to policy the two are equal because of the actuarially pricing that makes them equal to each other.
Once you start paying premiums into the policy though, the present value of future net level premiums starts to decline, then the present value of future benefits starts to increase. The difference between the two amounts then equates to equal the reserve.
