== Takeaways ==

* Risk arises when uncertainty carries the possibility of financial loss, and it is a problem because individuals often cannot absorb large losses on their own.

* Pooling solves this by spreading the cost of losses across a large group, turning an unpredictable individual burden into a small, predictable shared contribution.

* An insurer organises and sustains the pool by underwriting risk, collecting premiums, managing funds, settling claims, and operating under strict regulatory oversight to ensure it can keep its promises.
