misunderstood product life insurance is one of the piqst misunderstood products by the average canadian why the misunderstanding in an age of knowledge and computers it is my opinion that psychology and the insurance companies are a big part of the problem psychology hinders understand ing because it is only natural for us to avoid thoughts of death un less such thoughts are thrust upon us through the loss of a person close to us the insurance companies con tribute to misunderstanding through sheer numbers and com petitive forces as more than 175 companies all try to scratch out a larger piece of market share they have tried to do this large ly by promoting individual names for what are basically very simi lar products on the permanent insurance side we now have such wise money

would guess that by the myriad of names on the term insurance side things are no better one final point of confusion is how the public is being asked to view the companies many insur ance companies are now involved with real estate trust companies mutual funds financial planning companies and general insur ance it really is no surprise then that life insurance has become confus ing when you consider the rapid change taking place in the indus try how does one unravel the mystery the concept life insurance is simply risk sharing it began with groups of ship owners agreeing to share the financial burden if one of the members ships was lost at sea with respect to life insurance the loss of life creates a loss of future earning power since only a very few people will lose their lives early but no one individual can afford that loss people share that risk by buying life insurance life insurance companies have become the organizers of public risk sharing editors note john near is a
