In line with the learning objectives of the Master’s degree in “Finanza e Impresa”, the course aims at providing an in-depth treatment of major insurance and pension funds topics. After a discussion of basic concepts of risk management and insurance, the course focuses on main life, non-life and pension products. The economics of insurance companies is then examined considering both the managerial and the regulatory perspectives.
At the end of the course, the students will have developed:
• An in-depth knowledge of insurance markets, life and non-life policies, as well as the main pension products;
• A basic knowledge of the regulation applicable to insurance and pension funds;
• The ability to interpret the main performance and solvency measures of insurance companies;
• The ability to critically analyse the main strategic choices of insurance companies.
