Risk Metrics: Consumer Concern for and Acquisition of Insurance for Everyday Risks in the UK

Author: prbharatbook | Posted: 06.07.2012

Risk Metrics: Consumer Concern for and Acquisition of Insurance for Everyday Risks in the UK is an updated study about 40 types of risk and their associated insurance, warranty and assistance policies that are often described as ‘niche’ when compared to more mainstream insurance policies such as motor, household, travel and life insurance. However, the vast majority of these types of risk are deemed to be relevant to their circumstances by over 50% of survey respondents with the result that many have also acquired a policy to cover the risk. In fact, the research measures the relevance and degree of concern caused to survey participants by each of these 40 risks as well as measuring the take-up rates for the related insurance, warranty and assistance policies, whether on a stand-alone or packaged basis, among consumers with results broken out in detail in each case by gender, age group, annual household income and geographical location of respondents. Furthermore, for most policy types it is also possible to compare the latest results for 2011 with those from the previous survey carried out in 2007.
