Published 5 days, 4 hours ago
Description
This podcast is made by Ran Chen, who holds an EA license, Insurance and Securities licenses (Series 6, 63, 65), and the CFP® designation. He is passionate about opening access to high-quality exam preparation resources and helping learners prepare more effectively for professional certification exams.
In this episode you will learn:
- The difference between a per-occurrence limit, which caps a single event, and an aggregate limit, which caps total payments for the policy period.
- How sublimits impose lower, specific caps on high-risk property like jewelry, regardless of the overall policy limit.
- The purpose of a coinsurance clause is to encourage policyholders to insure their property to an adequate value, typically 80%.
- The coinsurance penalty formula: (Insurance Carried ÷ Insurance Required) × Amount of Loss = Insurer's Payment (before deductible).
- A critical exam trap is to always subtract the deductible *after* applying any coinsurance penalty, not before.
