Understanding Reciprocal Insurance Models
A reciprocal insurer operates slightly differently than traditional insurance models. It involves a collective of policyholders who provide insurance among themselves through a designated attorney-in-fact. Hence, it is a unique insurance arrangement where policyholders share in the ownership of the insurer while enjoying various management services facilitated by the attorney-in-fact in exchange for a fee. This model promotes engagement among policyholders while benefiting from professional management.
