Mutuality Explanation: Mutuality -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2003-01-14 12:47:33 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- \"There are two basic sorts of insurance arrangements: mutuality and solidarity. Mutuality is the normal form of commercial insurance, in which the applicants voluntarily pool their risk on the basis of the perceived risk of each at the time they enter the pool. The funds then pay claimants either on the basis of their loss or the sum assured. \" ref. http://www.absw.org.uk/Briefings/Human_genetics.htm |

mutuality Explanation: ... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2003-01-14 12:47:46 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Check this out: http://www.thisismoney.com/undated/si2073.html What is mutuality? A system where an organisation is owned by its members and run in their interests. There are no outside shareholders wanting a slice of the profits. Building societies are mutual bodies, and so are friendly societies*. Some life insurance companies such as Standard Life are also mutuals*. However mutual life insurers are a dying breed - even Scottish Widows has been bought by Lloyds Bank. And Friends Provident has ditched mutuality. |
