Underwriter

An insurance underwriter is a financial professional that evaluates the risks of insuring a particular person or asset and uses that information to set premium pricing for insurance policies. Underwriters use computer programs and actuarial data to determine the likelihood and magnitude of a payout over the life of the policy. Higher-risk individuals and assets will have to pay more in premiums to receive the same level of protection as compared to a lower-risk person or asset.
