3.4.2. Multi-Year Duration
| Status: In-Force |
One of the primary attributes of any finite insurance program is the ability to address the financing of liabilities over a multi-year period, thereby minimizing the impact of a severe loss in a single year. In addition, finite programs also minimize the "financial costs" of insurance - the cost of going into the market year after year to renew policies and being subject to market cycles. It also help building and strengthening long-term relationships with insurer. Since going into the market on an annual basis is highly inefficient, finite programs are designed to maximize the allocation of premiums to loss payments and minimize their use for transaction costs and overheads.
