    The design and management of an insurance system is a complex affair. It is characterized by many technical aspects that require multidisciplinary knowledge and skills to deal with them. This book introduces the reader to an overall view of the insurance scene in Singapore and discusses some major topics in both life and non-life insurances. The topics covered are sufficiently diverse so that practitioners, insurance students, researchers and the general public should find something of interest to them.

    Among other topics, the book touches on the principles and practice of life underwriting, the implications of AIDS, product design and pricing, reinsurance, motor vehicle insurance and identifying risk factors for premium rating.
