the rest of that **** didn't matter anyway. It's a house and I'm living with 11 other people and no it's not a frat (you'd be surprised how many people imediatly assume that I'm in a frat since I lve in a 12 person house). it's the Waterski/Wakeboard team house.

yeah they did that to me too for my first year, but since it's my second, my baby gets to come to school with me

What is an insurance underwriter

An underwriter determines the acceptability of insurance risks, based on the insurance company's guidelines and marketing strategy. The Underwriter reviews an agent's application submitted on behalf of a client, evaluates the information given, asks for additional information if necessary, and determines a price. In addition, the Underwriter determines that the risk is properly classified and evaluates the company's risk portfolio to determine that it is performing correctly. Underwriters determine the cost of insurance (the insurance premium) by analyzing the claims experience of the policyholder and the "book rates" as computed by an insurance actuary.

Underwriting is moving away from assessment of individual risk toward portfolio analysis, or looking at the entire book of business in a given town or geographic area and determining what works and what needs to be fixed to bring actual experience in line with company guidelines. This in turn has an impact on insurance rates and pricing of individual insurance policies. Underwriting is ultimately responsible for the growth and profitability of the insurance company.

Their duties include:

reviewing applications for insurance and comparing applications to loss experience and actuarial studies to determine if the applicant is an acceptable risk

evaluating future loss potential, e.g., catastrophic loss

insuring adequate pricing of insurable risks

preparing insurance quotation for insurance agents

assisting agents in responding to questions about the proposed coverage and rates

recommending declining an application if the proposed insurance cannot be underwritten as an acceptable rate or does not meet underwriting guidelines

There are many different types of underwriters. A corporate underwriter works from the insurer's home office and evaluates a portfolio of business based on known probabilities and statistics, and an evaluation of the human element. A field underwriter accepts, declines, or modifies applications for personal lines coverage submitted by insurance agents or brokers. A commercial lines underwriter does the same for commercial lines coverage. A specialist commercial lines Underwriter has a job outside the normal underwriter career path, and must have extensive experience in certain technical fields. A fidelity and surety bond underwriter analyzes situations that could lead to accidental loss and the obligations to be guaranteed by fidelity or surety bonds.
