What do insurance companies do?
Insurance companies cover life, health, property, motor and liability risks, and the agents and brokers around them advise clients, place policies and handle claims. Their customers are households, businesses and public bodies, and insurers pass part of their risk on to reinsurers and must hold the capital that the supervisor in each market requires.
Our data comes from the business registers of 207 countries, where insurance companies are classified under SIC major group 63 (insurance carriers) and major group 64 (insurance agents, brokers, and service). In NACE, the European code those registers use, 414,234 of them (16%) sit in classes 65.12 (non-life insurance), 65.11 (life insurance) and 66.22 (activities of insurance agents and brokers), part of divisions 65 (insurance, reinsurance and pension funding, except compulsory social security) and 66 (activities auxiliary to financial services and insurance activities).
