Life insurance rushed in

the Russian financial market, which, together with the whole economy is in obvious crisis, this year suddenly discovered a segment leader, who showed tremendous growth. They turned out to be life insurance. Judging by the numbers, this trend in our country is growing faster than all the world markets in this sector. Experts attribute this not only to the fact that sales to the policies actively involved banks, but also the beginning of the last changes in the attitude of Russians to the values of life and health. The cause of these mental changes, oddly enough, it was the crisis.

On the market trends of the regions reporters recently told a seminar in Moscow on "Insurance in the media mirror More life -. 2016", organized by the Association of Life Insurers (HOAs) and the All-Russian Insurance Association (ARIA).


Preliminary results of the domestic life insurance market development in the first nine months of 2016, which promulgated HOAs together with BCC, indicate fold increase. The studies were collected and analyzed data on the premium collection and payment of the 22 member companies and HOAs BCC, representing a total of more than 98 percent of the life insurance market.

The total amount of insurance premiums for the first nine months of this year increased compared to the same period in 2015 by 75.4 percent and amounted to 171 billion rubles. Moreover, only one third quarter of our fellow citizens bought the policies at 65 billion rubles. "This is a huge increase and it is happening against a background of stagnating financial market in Russia." - Said the president of HOAs, the head of JSC "Insurance company MetLife" Alexander Zaretsky.

Collection of premiums for other personal insurance reached 24 billion rubles against 10 billion rubles in the first nine months of last year. The total amount of insurance payments for three quarters of this year also increased - by 46.5 percent compared to the same period of the previous year, up to the amount of 26.45 billion rubles. life insurance payments increased by 33 percent and amounted to 20 billion rubles. "Thus, life insurance now - the fastest growing segment and in insurance, and in general in the financial market of the country", - concluded Zaretsky.

The main driver of this dynamic was the investment life insurance (COLI). Booming demand for such policies, experts explain, including the fact that the rates on deposits in domestic banks fell, investors began to look for an alternative to their investments and invest the money in the COLI. In the future, this rate is not guaranteed, especially if credit institutions again become actively develop the segment of deposits or if tougher regulation. However, since the lion's share of the population has no plans to take out loans in the near future, banks are unlikely to lose interest in the sale of COLI policies.

In the Saratov region, according to the director of the Saratov agency insurance company "Renaissance Life" Tatyana Ushakova, in 2013 the total fees on life insurance amounted to 1 billion 36 million rubles, in 2014 - 1 billion 437 million (38.7 percent), 2015 - 1 billion 238 million rubles (-13.88 per cent). At the end of the 1st half of 2016 life insurance premiums in the region have collected 732 million rubles, which is 16.5 percent more than in the first half of 2015.

According to the CBR, in 2013, was concluded 31 thousand 841 in 2014, in the Saratov region of life insurance contracts -. 33 thousand 715 in 2015-m. - 32 thousand 870 contracts.. "In general, the dynamics in the number of contracts repeats dynamics of charges: increase in 2014 and a small downward correction in 2015," - says Tatiana Ushakova.

"Saratov region - a vivid reflection of the situation in the Russian insurance - said our newspaper, the official representative of the company" Alpha Insurance "Yuri Nekhaychuk - Here the situation is exactly the same as in the whole country:. Decrease in new car sales led to a slight reduction of interest in the hull, but residents of Saratov region is still very interested in the preservation of property, health and their loved ones in the accident insurance. Actively developing and investment life insurance. "

"The replacement of the insurance of credit borrowers cumulative and investment insurance programs means improving the quality of development of the industry - sure Tatyana Ushakova -. After all, if in the first case it is usually a question of imputed services that are in addition to the loan, in the second case there is a conscious appeal person for life insurance as a separate product. "

"It is in the segment, which employs our company - a long-term life insurance, we see that the interest of the population of the Saratov region is growing. Our fees in 2015 were rooted to nine percent - said" Newspaper Our Version "Sales Director of the company," the PPF Life Insurance " Stefan Vanchek -. In the segment of classic life insurance leads long-term savings insurance, which allows people to protect themselves from the risks associated with the loss of health and accidents, while allowing to save money in the future when people feel insecurity, they are looking for tools that can help. reduce threats and risks for themselves. it is for this and need long term care insurance products. "

"The reasons for the industry's growth is partly laid just in a difficult macroeconomic situation in the country - agrees Tatiana Ushakova -. While credit insurance faded into the background, the new drivers become long-term products of investment and savings insurance This is largely due to the fact. . that in terms of economic instability citizens feel particularly shortage of reliable methods of capital investments and protection against risks Firstly, the changing priorities of the middle class -. with consumer focus has shifted to the conservation and protection of personal capital Second, transforming the behavior of private investors - instead of return with high risk to the fore the reliability and investment protection in the third, unstable period is increasing the value of risk protection -. this also applies to health, and accidents An additional incentive for the industry was the introduction from the beginning of 2015 tax deductions under the contracts. life insurance, concluded for a term of five years. "

Another trend of the last time, this time negative, - activation of scams in personal insurance. If before on various "legal" and unscrupulous figures (which often act as a part of organized criminal groups) complained only companies that sell motor types of insurance (MTPL and CASCO), now taint of fraud are increasingly began to spread to other segments of the insurance market. Ways in which scam artists are trying to heat up the insurance business, more and more. Sometimes they draw up policies for several different companies, then "arrange" an accident as a concussion or bone fracture, and require payment. This sometimes manage to submit the same x-ray image in different episodes, changing only the name of the victim. From such schemes suffer not only insurance companies but ultimately honest consumers, since all costs, expenses and losses of the business has to lay in tariffs on policies.

In Saratov, life insurers also experienced outright fraud. "In 2014 there was an incident that caused a resonance in the region. 26-year-old resident of Saratov devised a plan to commit a hard and cynical crime. Together with two accomplices, he was planning to get from the company" Renaissance Life "insurance compensation in the amount of 9.892 million 660 rubles, adjust the traffic accident in which was killed unsuspecting insured - says Tatiana Ushakova -. Fortunately, to implement its plan to the organizer could not, his criminal activity was foiled As a result, the court sentenced the offender to seven years of imprisonment. punishment in the colony.

Conspiracy insurers

Insurers have recently been in a panic. It seems to be underestimated and payments, and denied them with or without - the money saved should be enough not just bread and butter. But no, dissatisfied customers through the courts began to recover the amount three times higher than originally determined by insurers. Budget insurance companies cracked at the seams.

It was necessary to do something, and all of us together sang about loss of CTP and the need to raise the basic rates, which have not changed over a decade. The main
Case: legal increase in payments to 400 thousand in the general order and to 50 million in the case of evroprotokol - excessive burden.

The Central Bank has agreed with these arguments, and October 1, 2014 issued a new base MTPL tariffs. Unlike the former, the current floating rate:
insurance companies have given the right to choose, from a sum of a start in calculating the cost of the policy. Minimum base - 2440 rubles, the maximum -2574 rubles.


Previously, the base rate was 1,980 rubles (for natural persons - owners of the cars). Under the new regulations the insurance company acceptable for calculating a base amount, shall inform the Central Bank of the Russian Federation and begins to sell the policies. The experts, including experts of the Central Bank and RSA (Russian Union of Insurers), assured us that appeared in the base rate of the fork increase competition in the market. In fact, most companies just sell insurance policies at the maximum price.

In one of the insurance offices at all I whispered in your ear that most insurers conspired to sell policies CTP as expensive as possible. But still I managed to find a company with a minimum base fare. Ingosstrakh, apparently, did not participate in collusion - counting policies on the minimum rate.

But it in Moscow. In the regions, competition, and there is no question - often only a couple of insurance runs in the neighborhood, and therefore, one hand washes. Therefore, the policy of CTP with a load in the form of life insurance, car owners have long been accustomed there and quietly suffer. And get used to the increase in the price.

In some regions, the policy generally can not be bought in recent months. Excuses are different: someone did not find forms, and other companies required to present the car to inspection before signing the contract - despite the fact that the next inspection technician could take place not earlier than one month. "The right person on vacation, and other employees of the qualification we have ..." The real reason for this behavior was evident - waiting for the new tariffs. Judge for yourself: on October 1, 2014 increased the maximum amount of the payment (for iron and 400 thousand (previous limit was 120 thousand), and the opportunity to sell the policy more expensive there was only on October 11 Behold insurers and hampered sales - it would be desirable to tear off from the client more.!

How to choose the insurer that the insurance market is at risk

It is known that in 2015 in our country has begun routine "cleaning" the insurance market, which has led to the loss of the 70th insurers (17% of insurance companies) licenses. But stop in thinning "population insurers" The Bank of Russia does not intend to: according to experts, before the end of the year remaining on the market of insurance companies to 40% can lose the license. More precisely, of the 334 licensed as of January 1, 2016 135 companies are in the risk zone.

The main reason for revocation of licenses of insurance - the poor quality of assets. There is an overestimation of the real estate and other illiquid assets, showed a lot of assets was a sham. Not to mention the not dried up the flow of complaints from citizens, which raises the question about the quality of customer service.

The objective reality is that the next year should be expected to reduce insurers up to two hundred.

At the same time serious complaints the regulator there is a large system of insurance companies.

Withdrawal of license: Theory and Practice

Theoretically, a review of the license makes it impossible to conclude contracts, but is not a reason for the complete termination of the obligations of the insurance company to its customers. Moreover, the insurer under the law is given six months is for execution of earlier commitments.

But the practice is what it says: usually the time of withdrawal of the license of no fulfillment of the obligations it does not go as money for the insurer simply do not have accounts. Do not correct the situation and appeal to the court: an official bankruptcy proceedings the plaintiff brings the winner only a tiny fraction of the required amount (usually - of a percent).

The same fate awaits those who remain in the hands of the cumulative investment policy of life insurance: the accumulated return of the bank on the deposit amount according to the law, he can not, but can only take their place in the queue of creditors. A prime location just at the policy holders of compulsory insurance. Thus, the victims of the bankrupt company clients in CTP eligible for compensation from the PCA.

Something about the insurer's selection criteria

Needless to say, to choose the insurance company today is not easy. And no single recipe right there is no choice. But the idea is - though contradictory.

For example, in very different ways you can interpret indicators such as the ratio of fees and disbursements: a large gap can be regarded as evidence of underpayments and insurers - and a responsible attitude to business, taking into account the need to build reserves. Experts, however, are inclined to believe that a small gap between fees and payments always indicates the poor condition of the insurer Affairs.

More can be considered indicative of the size of the authorized capital (preferably more than 1 billion. Rub.), As well as the presence in the largest and most famous of shareholders, which is not likely to withdraw for a few weeks, all of the assets, leaving insurers with nothing.



Enough reliable indicator - ranking national and international rating agencies (NRA, "Expert RA�, Moody's, Standard & Poor's). Finally, the problem of insurers you can always learn from disgruntled customers on relevant forums.

Stricter requirements for insurers - for the benefit of policyholders

With this hard to argue: Purified insurance market will become more friendly to the customers. But while the situation is even worse than the bankers - because you can not rely even today on the five market leaders.

Because insurers must keep your finger on the pulse of events and react already at the first manifestations of instability - for example, in mass communications about insurance payments delayed. These are the realities of the day.

Employment Insurance company: promising and profitable

To date, there are about 250 insurance companies in Ukraine, and many experts believe the insurance business one of the most promising and fastest growing. In this industry, you can quickly make a career.

It is very important that many companies are actively recruiting young people with no or minimal experience, because the staff is just not enough. So if you are a young professional, then you have every chance to get a job in an insurance company.

Insurance is a separate branch, which has its own characteristics, which you need to know. In general, insurance is: "Creation of funds that are paid in case of adverse events."

Sometimes different directions:

risk insurance
property insurance
liability Insurance
In Ukraine, the insurance business with began to actively develop only after independence, but rather at the end of the 90s. Now the insurance business in Ukraine is developing very rapidly, which could be described as "boom". Work with an insurance company becomes more and more popular.


There are new companies, there is an active inflow of investment from abroad, foreign companies come. Common steel mergers and acquisitions among players in the market, and all of this means a lot of money.

If something of this you have, then you can become a good insurance professional and having worked a year and a half of the initial positions and then go to the "big bosses", as companies grow and managers recruited from yesterday's young insurers.

In addition to the necessary professional skills (the ability to understand the relevant services and conditions of insurance) agent, as representatives of the business, must necessarily be outgoing personality and stress.

But that's not all. Success in this business largely depends on the ability to "calculate" the potential client. Experienced agents know: to offer their services to all in a row can not be. Instead of the conclusion of the transaction and making profits you can get a good share of negative emotions. Insurance agent - a kind of psychologist. Its main task - to accurately identify customer needs and provide the best solutions to problems.

Who can work in an insurance company?
The most popular are:

Insurance agent
Insurance specialist
Insurer
Leaders agents network
Consultants
Top Management
Most of these positions can be summarized in insurance manager. Or rather, a person who enters into the insurance transaction. Given actively growing market now felt an acute shortage of insurance professionals.

Of course, the work of an insurance company has its own characteristics. Firstly, you need to understand the intricacies of insurance. This is a fairly complex area and space for learning a lot. Secondly, in most cases the work of a specialist insurance implies active work with people, and so you need to be a bit of a psychologist and be prepared for a lot of communication. And third, most likely you will want to sell insurance, which requires sales skills, tenacity and vigor.

Let me teach
Due to staff shortage, many large insurance companies have opened their schools for training insurance agents. What is attractive, training is free of charge. In this case the company that organized the courses do not impose any obligation on the audience. That is to be trained, and it is useful for a career in related fields, absolutely free of charge.

Education in the school takes no more than a week. On average - three to five days, 4-5 hours a day. Teach in the first place, to understand the insurance, "to understand the product." Obligatory point of the program is to examine the regulatory framework governing insurance activities, as well as the basics of document. And teach properly execute contracts, to work competently with clients and so on.

Sign in to share
Earnings of the insurance agent, mainly consists of commissions from the sale of insurance products. The amount of remuneration depends on the type of insurance varies from 10% to 25% of the contract sum. For example, the average price of CASCO insurance policy for the car worth $ 20,000, is $ 1,500. That is, the agent who sold this type of insurance, will receive a minimum of $ 150.

In life insurance, the commission also depends on the duration of the contract and can reach 30-50%. This is despite the fact that life insurance is one of the most expensive products. But to sell such insurance is much more complicated than the policies of popular types of life insurance.

In some companies, there are so-called system of financing agent. This means that, subject to the sales plan insurance agent in addition to the commissions received also a flat rate - usually from $ 100 to $ 300. As an additional incentive and operate a variety of bonus programs, the promotion of sales agents, leaders and so on.

But in the first month of the novice may not be able to sell a single product. But free schedule of work of an insurance agent is quite allows him not to leave the main place of work and income from agency activities regarded as optional.

The activity of an insurance agent can be a temporary part-time job and start a career in the insurance business. Options for development can be several. Career growth depends on personal ambitions and abilities. An insurance agent can count on a place in the company. And can apply for a managerial position at achievement of certain criteria. For example, an insurance agent can count on a place in the sales department (as opposed to agents, state "salespeople" generally work with corporate clients and conduct transactions in larger amounts).

According to the insurers, the position of the agent - is the ideal starting step for a career in the financial sector. Firstly, because the large companies, especially foreign capital, like "grow" their own pictures. Second, the experience "in the field" will help future managers to better understand the market needs and to feel the situation. However, to get to the office staff, a specialist will have a minimum of six months effective work freelance.

By the way, not necessarily pursue a career all in the same company. A good specialist will be happy not only to any insurance company, but also in the banks. After all, there also have departments whose work is connected with insurance.

Insurance details

The insurance business has evolved in the early 90s. Then the insurance company staff were universal: to enter into contracts, estimated the value of the objects and the risks involved in payments. Today in this area there is a clear division of labor.

In general, employees any insurance company can be divided into two major groups: the front office (those who have direct contact with clients) and the back office. The first group - are employees selling units and experts on the settlement of damages. What do the first - is understandable, but the latter is already working with customers after the insured event occurred. For back-office includes representatives of both the universal professions (secretaries, members of IT-services, accountants, and so on.), And insurance (underwriters, experts in actuarial calculations). On the wagons in the article will not talk, it will be only for those whose profession is an integral part of the insurance business.

Sellers in the State and outside the State
The first step that begins the career ladder many successful professionals in insurance, - a position of an insurance agent. This employee self-seeking clients and sells insurance policies for different types of insurance. agent's task is complex and simple at the same time - to sell insurance to me, your neighbor, that is individual. The hardest thing at first is where and how to find a client. After all, no one will call you and say: "Insure me, please!" Therefore, most beginners first insurance agents sell through relatives, friends and acquaintances. And just in time the agent (or Sales Manager) formed its own client portfolio.


Agents are not employees of the company. Nevertheless, the developed network of agents - is something on which to build a business of any insurance company. Income derived by a manager, the entire sum of the percent of sales policies. Many in the profession of insurance agent draws a flexible schedule, and the fact that sales can be engaged on the job training and substantive work. But there is a flip side: lack of stable income (how much you sell - you get so much). According to the observations of recruiters, agents earnings by the end of the first year is US $ 800-1000. After two or three years, accumulating an extensive customer base, a specialist can count already 2000-3000 USD. Per month or more. Although there are people who believe this craft exclusively extra earnings, thereby to obtain no more than 300-500 USD. Per month. But those who take up the matter seriously and achieves some success, soon become full-time employees of the company and have themselves trained sales agents.

The main groups of professionals working in the state of the average insurance company, are different levels of sellers, underwriters, methodology (product managers), activists, experts on the settlement of losses, the evaluators (not represented in all companies). Tell us more about each of these professions.

The driving force of any business - sellers. The insurance firms they employ other workers. No sales - there is no field to assess the insurance risk, nothing to reinsure and deal with the settlement of losses, too, is not necessary. Sales specialists typically work with corporate clients, at least - with individuals (usually retail - a field agent activity). Established sellers unlike freelancers have a fixed salary ($ 1,000 and above.), All the rest - the interest of the concluded contracts. Experienced workers income is several times the amount of salary. Naturally, people who work in the field of sales, should be active and sociable, that is not a requirement for back-office staff.

Underwriter (in translation from English - the signature under risk) - one of the key professions in insurance. The specialist takes over the obligations under any type of insurance contracts, guaranteeing financial compensation. It forms a portfolio (risk selection produces), generates conditions of insurance, defines and justifies the size of their own retention and tariff policy, selects the reinsurance protection, which allows to transfer the risk of the maximum for the minimum money. On average, each underwriter receives several billion dollars a year liability.

Formal attitude to risk assessment can result in the most adverse effects. After all, insurance is in any other industry, a minor error or omission may lead to the collapse of the company. Therefore it is important that in this area working professionals. It is estimated to grow good underwriter, the company takes three to four years.

The average salary of an underwriter in a large company - 1500-2000 dollars.

The main product
The main purpose of any insurance company - quality customer service, which is possible only in the interaction of all divisions. To attract customers, the seller needed products and prices that the market will be most advantageous to be different from others.

Creating new products - the patrimony of product managers. After analyzing customer needs and capabilities of the company, they are preparing proposals for new products and their promotion. And their tools serves the entire company. For example, the development of tariffs on insurance trends is impossible without mutual cooperation, product managers and underwriters. In promoting a product manager on the market to help professionals in the field of advertising and public relations, in the preparation of special training for the sellers - Service HR. Product Manager is the initiator of all these processes from the inception of the idea to the product to market. He keeps abreast of sales, tracking how the new venture is profitable for the company.

these employees salary varies from 1,000 to 2,000 dollars.

continuous losses
Thus, the sale is perfect, the risks assessed. If during the term of the policy or contract an insured event occurs, the specialists on the scene to settle the losses (in some companies, referred to as the experts). The accident crushed the car, the neighbors poured on top of the insured apartment - with these and other problems sorted out just the experts. They will inspect the damaged property, amount to an act that the insured event did take place, help the client to draw up the documents required for payment.

In some large insurance companies feature the work of experts on the settlement of damages is the versatility: they are not only working at the scene, are assessing the damage involved in the reception and analysis of documents, but also participate in the examination taken at the insurance objects, the development of new programs, tariff adjustments, etc. .

Insured event - for any company a kind of aptitude test. On how skillfully and quickly it will be settled, depending whether the customer will turn to this organization in the next time, or prefer another firm. Well, most staff involved in such an important issue, in addition to excellent knowledge of the business, you must have nerves of steel and a truly angelic patience. Otherwise, try to explain to the person who drove the car an hour ago, what papers he needs to collect to get paid.

Depending on the level of payment labor specialist for the settlement of losses ranges from 900 to 1500 dollars.

"Actuarial" question
Another insurance profession - a specialist actuary or actuarial.

Actuarial calculations - calculations of tariffs for any type of insurance methods of mathematical statistics. Using them is determined by the share of each insurer in the creation of an insurance fund, which is a kind of reserve, from which customers pay compensation. By and large, this work is focused on the future of the insurance company. Specialty actuary originated in the XVIII century in connection with the development of insurance business.

Now, about the salary. Actuarial least in the labor market of 1000-1500 USD. It is also worth noting that the activities of almost all the experts, except for actuaries, also divided by type of insurance.

Professional requirements for employees of insurance companies, are standard. However, with the arrival of foreign insurers in the market, more and more increasing demand for qualified specialists who speak English. But they in our country, unfortunately, is not enough.
