Insurance around the world

Insurance comes a long way in human history. In ancient times, Babylonian traders would make a contract that guaranteed that the loan would be canceled if the shipment were stolen or damaged by natural disasters. Chinese merchants would divide their commodities among separate vessels to limit losses at sea.

The 3,000-year-young insurance industry is now worth US$5 trillion globally and growing ever before. In the age of pandemic, people are vulnerable to health issues and businesses are struggling with uncertainties. As more people tend to insurance to have some sense of assurance, the industry is seeing a tremendous boom. But with opportunities come challenges.

In the coming decades, insurance policies are expected to become more personalized to meet the ever-changing needs of consumers. In the increasingly contactless world, the digitalization of the insurance industry will also become a norm. You can enquire about and buy policies at the touch of your fingertips.

When it comes to investment, people usually think about property, jewelry, stocks, etc. But insurance can be a worthwhile investment, too. A Silicon Valley resident US billionaire made headlines for acquiring a life insurance policy with a coverage of $201 million. Of course, it is not because he/she is too poor to afford medical expenses. 

Most US billionaires have their assets tied to stocks and property. But the stock prices can plummet anytime and liquidating property is a painstakingly long process. The industry experts projected that the record-breaking insurance purchase was a way of investing for his/her surviving family should he/she die unexpectedly. The policy features a combined death benefit to be paid upon the death of the insured.
