ABSTRACT
High and volatile rates and uncertainty of future inflation can,
of course, have an important impact on the investment policies
of the insurance industry. Large portions of assets are accounted
for by bonds and mortgages. Fixed income securities are typically
very sensitive to interest rate. This article is concerned with
the application of financial futures, options on finanical futures,
stock index futures, options on stock index futures, and put and
call options on common stock by the life and property-casualty
insurance industries.
