Anonymous A asked on Mar 17, 2019

Hello

I have no knowledge regarding the insurance sector.

I was wondering what are the revenue, fixed cost and variable cost drivers of an insurance company ?

I'm sure that there is a risk factor regarding the customers of policies, and the premiums they pay, but im not sure how to include them in my thought process because of my lack of general knowledge in this industry

Thanks in advance for your insights!

I want to be notified about updates regarding this question via email
