New Trends in Life Insurance
KALINOVÁ, Petra
The aim of this thesis is to get acquainted with the situation and problems of life insurance market, as well as to clarify its history and principles and describe differences between individual kinds of life insurance with focus on comparison of endowment life insurance and investment life insurance. We have compared investment life insurance products of six insurers. Using TANK method, which deals with costs of all investment products, we found out that investment life insurance has got very high fees and in comparison with other financial products it is far too expensive. According to statistics and work results the situation in the Czech Republic has improved significantly in recent years and life insurance market is growing. But the results are distorted. The specified premium has grown, mainly because of single deposits, which are meant as an investment and not as risk coverage. People are less protected in case of death and insurance protection is minimal. The main role of life insurance is suppressed and life insurance is viewed from a short-term perspective. Few people realize that insurance agreement will not satisfy their present needs and that it will help them in risk situations which life brings. Czech people take life insurance as an investment tool, not as a protection against unexpected events.
