Key Terms

property/casualty insurance financial

Insurance that protects physical assets (like buildings, vehicles and inventory) and covers legal responsibility for accidents, injuries or damage to others. Think of it as two protections in one: one that pays to repair or replace your property after a loss, and one that pays if you’re found legally responsible for harm to someone else; investors watch premiums, claim costs and reserve levels because they determine how profitable and stable an insurer’s business is.

marine insurance financial

Insurance that protects ships, cargo and related liabilities from loss, damage or legal claims while goods are being transported by sea. Think of it as a homeowner’s or car policy for maritime activity: it shifts the financial hit of accidents, storms, piracy or cargo spoilage from the owner or carrier to the insurer. Investors care because marine insurance affects shipping costs, company balance-sheet risk, and the financial exposure of ports, traders and insurers tied to global trade.
