In the world of finance, risk management or FinnRisk refers to the practice of identifying potential risks in advance, analyzing them & taking precautionary steps to reduce/curb the risk.
FinnRisk is the process of evaluating the risks faced by a firm or an individual and then minimizing the costs involved with those risks. Any risk entails two types of costs. The first is the cost that will be incurred if a potential loss becomes an actual loss. An example is the cost of rebuilding and reequipping an assembly plant that burns to the ground. The second type consists of the costs of reducing or eliminating the risk of potential loss. Here we would include the cost of purchasing insurance against loss by fire or the cost of not building the plant at all (this cost is equal to the profit that the plant might have earned). These two types of costs must be balanced, one against the other, if risk management is to be effective. Most people think of risk management as simply buying insurance. However, insurance, although an important part of risk management, is not the only means of dealing with risk. Other methods may be less costly in specific situations. And some kinds of risks are uninsurable—not even an insurance company will issue a policy to protect against them.
If a risk cannot be avoided, perhaps it can be reduced. An automobile passenger can reduce the risk of injury in an automobile accident by wearing a seat belt. A manufacturer can reduce the risk of product failure through careful product planning and market testing. In both situations, the cost of reducing risk seems to be well worth the potential saving.
Businesses face risks as a result of their operating procedures and management decision making. An analysis of operating procedures—by company personnel or outside consultants—often can point out areas in which risk can be reduced. Among the techniques that can be used are:
The risks involved in management decisions can be reduced only through effective decision making by virtue of Insuring the Risk.

Life insurance most important function is to replace the earnings that would cease at the death of the insured. If the bread earner dies during his/ her earning years, the family would suffer a severe monetary loss. Unfortunately, after the demise of the sole bread earner the family would still have to pay its regular bills, education funds, and outstanding debts/ loans. Unless one is independently wealthy, achieving these goals may be virtually impossible for the family with the loss of the steady income. Life insurance offers a path for one’s family to continue living comfortably and without worry. Life Insurance can only ease monetary loss nothing beyond.
Life insurance thus provides protection to the beneficiaries of the insured. The amount of insurance needed depends very much on their circumstances like – earning, expenses, number of dependants or liabilities.
Life Insurance plan is essentially a contract between an individual (policyholder) and an insurance company (insurer).
