Insurance Principles Legal Principles

Which fundamental principle of insurance requires the policyholder to stand to suffer a real financial loss in the insured life or item?

RE5 practice question with a worked answer. This is one of hundreds of FSCA RE5 questions in the RegulatoryExams question bank.

  1. a) Insurable interest.Correct
  2. b) Utmost good faith.
  3. c) Indemnity.
  4. d) Subrogation.

Why this is the answer

Insurable interest means the policyholder must face a genuine, measurable financial loss if the insured event occurs; without it the contract is a mere wager and is void. Utmost good faith concerns honest disclosure, indemnity concerns restoring the insured's position, and subrogation lets the insurer pursue third parties.
