Pívot to Finance as a Financial Professional 3rd post: One of the fundamental principles that drew me to insurance based products is risk pooling. By spreading the risk across a large group of policyholders, insurers can provide financial protection at a reasonable cost. This pooling mechanism helps ensure that individuals aren’t financially devastated by a rare but costly event. Personal experience with friends and family who needed this. Excited to help others with life products!
