Memory anchors
Risk Pooling
Insurance pools similar risks so premiums of many can fund losses of a few.
Peril and Hazard
A peril causes loss; a hazard increases the chance or severity of loss.
Adverse Selection
Adverse selection occurs when higher-risk applicants are more likely to seek cover without proper pricing or disclosure.
Moral Hazard
Moral hazard arises when behavior changes because insurance reduces the direct cost of loss.
Protection First
Insurance should be explained first as risk protection, not only as return or sales target.
