General insurance investment principles

Document description

Philip A. 8 pages. Below are what we perceive as being four basic investment principles. In the following sections, we discuss why they are important, how they may be achieved and problems that may be encountered. 1) To maximise net rate of return. 2) To maximise investment security. 3) To meet the liabilities. 4) To meet legislative requirements. In setting out and commenting on these principles, we do not consider it essential to draw a distinction between capital and income.
