Clearly, the evolution of risk management strategies has not kept pace with the globalization of commerce and capital markets. This has lead to daunting problems and obsolete understandings of risk relationships and the role insurance can play for both investors and consumers.
Fortunately, ISI’s founders viewed this discouraging situation as an opportunity in disguise. Perhaps the moment had arrived to explore resourceful new products and creative strategies that would better protect the greater community against risk! In late 2007, after determining that a massive void existed in terms of published research and informed leadership, ISI’s founders launched the Insurance Studies Institute. Operating as a non-profit 501(c)3 research think-tank, ISI brings a unique level of experience and energy to insurance-based studies.
ISI’s mission is to foster clarity, fairness, and innovation in the complex matters of insurance based risk management, and in doing so, challenge traditional insurance paradigms. ISI accomplishes its goals by researching the challenges and opportunities presented by the complex structures and issues of insurance. By funding, facilitating and conducting groundbreaking research, ISI will enable individuals and businesses to better mitigate financial risks. Publishing balanced reports and white papers on industry relevant topics.
Educating industry stakeholders, public policy makers and consumers in insurance based risk management and related industries. Further, ISI endeavors to arm today’s scholars and leaders with the knowledge necessary to shape insurance risk management tools to meet the challenges of newly evolving financial structures.
Stimulating action by promoting dialogue and informed actions to foster industry advancements, favorable public policy, fair utilization of insurance and greater risk protection/financial wellness for businesses, consumers and investors.
