In this way, an insurer has about three dollars to invest for every dollar of capital available

Development of reputation is important so that the salesperson, agent or broker can be confident, when he or she sells the policy, that the company will stay in; Insurance is tightly regulated by various forms of government. It is important to select markets that have usually been profitable and where the risk is better controlled. Marketing is more important than pricing, even though most people are interested in the price. Price is important to the consumer, but commercial buyers are interested in the rating of the company, as well as reputation for paying claims and flexibility in providing different types of policy coverage and terms. Reinsurance costs vary by company, and if a particular company finds the cost of reinsurance too great, it might refuse a class of risk or charge much higher premiums. Companies will set premiums at different levels from each other depending upon their preference for a given type of risk. This is referred to as a fronting arrangement.

The insurance company will not have any risk. In cases where they want to become involved in certain lines of business, they will arrange to have an insurance company issue the policies, but the re-insurer will assume the entire risk. Most re-insurers are not licensed to act as an insurer and cannot issue policies directly to the public. The risk is transferred to a reinsurer and the re-insurer pays a fee for the issuance and servicing of the policy. Some companies will provide the policies but take no risk. Another source of income is fees from re-insurers. When interest rates are high, some insurers will reduce rates and have an underwriting loss in order to have a larger investment portfolio. That is why the majority of income is derived from investment income.
