Even if you cannot change the risk around you, you can control the risk you chose to be around. The GIA aims to do the same with the help of experienced professionals who have not only been assessing the risk and mitigating it but are highly renowned for their prowess to preempt as well as manage risk.The GIA came into existence in order to solve the day-to-day challenges faced by the creators. Needless to say, the insurance industry is in essence a multi-faceted domain, yet it continues to remain an insular arena. However, in this fast-evolving techno-corporate scientific world, the disciplinary boundaries are being continuously disrupted and merged. As a result, a holistic approach toward problem-solving and risk aversion is a serious injunction.Some circumstances in life are invariably fraught with peril, in one such hazardous scenario, there was an instance when an actuary and an underwriter while pricing the risk had reached an impasse on prioritizing interests, where someone was needed to break the ground. It is at this juncture that an underwriter with an actuarial background proved to be an indispensable resource as he was able to unearth the middle ground by widening the perspective and helping in adopting a balanced approach. An actuarial savant might have the vision and foresight about a potential risk; however, he alone cannot subvert a financial downturn.The GIA is an outcome of this line of thought. One cannot deny that there is an absence of a common platform where stalwarts as well as aspirants can come together leading to a better analysis and understanding of the thought processes behind decision making in the insurance industry.
