This chapter provides an overview of the principal types of insurance products available in the insurance market. It explains the nature, structure, and key design features of these products, with attention given to both general insurance and life insurance offerings. In addition, the chapter discusses bonds, three-party contractual arrangements that, while not classified as insurance products, perform related risk-transfer and guarantee functions.
