Your ASA President Says...

Hello All,

Welcome to the first quarter of 2021! After a fairly rough year for all, it is nice to see signs of improvement, and a hope for more good things to come. We at ASA have been busy planning more events and working on new ideas for the upcoming year.

Please check out the website and see what we have coming up. Looking forward to catching up with some of the folks we haven’t seen in a while.

We are excited to see what the rest of 2021 brings for the industry, as we are seeing signs of some improvements to start picking up and getting people back to work.

Best wishes,

John Luft

ASA President

Risk Tolerance - How Much Risk Should You Tkae?

The purpose of insurance is to transfer the risk of accidental loss to an insurance company in exchange for a premium. When done correctly, this “risk transfer” will reduce financial uncertainty and make accidental loss manageable.

Not every risk should be insured. Some risks should be retained, and others should be avoided. Below you will find a Risk Quadrant. Claims that have low severity whether frequent or not, should be retained. It generally does not make sense to involve your insurance company on small dollar matters for a lot of reasons. High frequency and high severity exposures should be avoided. They will likely be uninsurable and unmanageable from an insured’s standpoint. The ideal exposure for insurance is low frequency and high severity.
