If the insurance company calculates with premiums that are too low, its existence may be at stake if the claims payments turn out to be too high. In a specific case, the company must therefore know the potential risk of natural disasters (their probability and financial impact) in the respective region. It must also check in advance what condition the insured properties are in. Are they residential or commercial properties? What is the condition of the water pipes and the entire electrical system, etc.?<\/p>\n<p>Risks that the insurance company does not want to take on its books, even in return for high premium payments, are not insured at all or are transferred to other insurance companies (so-called reinsurers) &#8211; again in return for a premium payment. Although this means that part of the premium income is used for risk transfer, the insurance company reduces its overall risk. In the end, the premiums must exceed the claims payments in the long term, otherwise the insurance company will not be able to survive*.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b5cf13d elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"b5cf13d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1222\" src=\"https:\/\/ezzy.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Optionspraemien-kassieren.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-51789\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ezzy.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Optionspraemien-kassieren.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/ezzy.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Optionspraemien-kassieren-300x191.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ezzy.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Optionspraemien-kassieren-1024x652.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/ezzy.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Optionspraemien-kassieren-768x489.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ezzy.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Optionspraemien-kassieren-1536x978.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e29b051 elementor-blockquote--skin-border elementor-blockquote--button-color-official elementor-widget elementor-widget-blockquote\" data-id=\"e29b051\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"blockquote.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<blockquote class=\"elementor-blockquote\">\n\t\t\t<p class=\"elementor-blockquote__content\">\n\t\t\t\t*Although there is another source of profit in the insurance business in addition to the main one - namely the income that the insurance company generates from the investment of premiums - this should not play a role here for reasons of simplification.\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/blockquote>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c28bbd0 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"c28bbd0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Transfer of the business model to the stock exchange<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0b73a53 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"0b73a53\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>How can we, as private investors, transfer precisely this business model to stock market trading?

Let&#8217;s take a look at the following example:<\/p>\n<p>Investor A has 100 XYZ shares in his portfolio, which are quoted at USD 100. He wants to protect himself against a fall in the share price below USD 90, which in the insurance world would correspond to a deductible of 10% of the insured value. Or to put it simply: Investor A bears the first ten percent of the share price loss alone and would like to protect himself against anything less.<\/p>\n<p><strong>This is exactly what he can do by buying a put with a strike at USD 90.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>For a certain term of the option (corresponds to the insurance term), he pays USD 2 per share, for example, i.e. a total of USD 200. The seller of the put option <strong>receives this USD 200 per share as a premium and can keep it regardless of the outcome.<\/strong> As there is a risk of having to purchase the XYZ share (this is referred to as &#8220;tendering&#8221;), the put seller must have the necessary capital of USD 10,000 available in his broker account &#8211; similar to an insurance company that holds capital in reserve to pay out in the event of a claim***.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ddafa1c elementor-blockquote--skin-border elementor-blockquote--button-color-official elementor-widget elementor-widget-blockquote\" data-id=\"ddafa1c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"blockquote.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<blockquote class=\"elementor-blockquote\">\n\t\t\t<p class=\"elementor-blockquote__content\">\n\t\t\t\t***Here we focus on trading without <a href=\"https:\/\/ezzy.io\/optionshandel\/optionshandel-auf-margin\/\">margin<\/a>, hence the term \"Cash Secured Puts\".\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/blockquote>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d7c5a3f elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"d7c5a3f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>From the time the put is sold, time runs out for the writer, as the time value of the option decreases day by day.

As long as the share is quoted above the strike or even rises, the put seller does nothing but wait and see &#8211; for this reason, option sellers are also called option writers. When pricing the put price (i.e. the premium amount), the option seller is guided by the risk of the respective transaction: the more volatile the share and the longer the insurance period, the more expensive the insurance cover, i.e. the higher the premium. Analogous to the insurance business, where the agreement of a deductible reduces the premium, the distance between the share price and the agreed strike is also a key factor in the pricing of the put.<\/p>\n<p>To stay with the specific example: If the share is quoted at USD 100, a put with a strike of USD 80 would of course be cheaper than a put with a strike of USD 90, because the probability of a major fall in the share price is also lower. In principle, it is of course advisable to only write (sell) puts on shares that you consider to be solid and which &#8211; in the event of a tender &#8211; you really want to hold in your portfolio. At the same time, technical chart support levels help to optimize the choice of strike. Insurance is no different: it too does not want to insure buildings that are located in an earthquake zone or near a river.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8d66154 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"8d66154\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1521\" height=\"828\" src=\"https:\/\/ezzy.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Stillhalter-Versicherung.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-51788\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ezzy.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Stillhalter-Versicherung.jpg 1521w, https:\/\/ezzy.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Stillhalter-Versicherung-300x163.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ezzy.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Stillhalter-Versicherung-1024x557.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/ezzy.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Stillhalter-Versicherung-768x418.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1521px) 100vw, 1521px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-bccefaa elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"bccefaa\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Fig. 3) Insurers spread their risk over many properties, writers spread their risk over many shares<\/strong><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3877889 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"3877889\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>It is equally important to ensure sufficient diversification, i.e. to spread your capital across several puts.

What is often forgotten is the fact that stock markets can move sideways for years, sometimes even decades &#8211; passive investors are then left out in the cold. High dividend yields are also no security at all, as they can be reduced or canceled completely. Dividends also do not provide a sufficient buffer against sharp falls in a share price. <strong>By selling options &#8211; the premium strategy &#8211; investors receive regular income that is significantly higher than the dividend yield.<\/strong> This does not require a bull market; it is sufficient for the share to move sideways or slightly downwards.

However, the put is never worse than a direct investment, as the premium received beforehand reduces the purchase price for the share. As in the real insurance business, put sellers can also transfer (part of) the risks to external parties or take profits before the expiry date, which often makes sense. However, one thing is clear from the outset: the put seller&#8217;s maximum profit is the premium received. For this reason, premium strategies are logically not the most profitable strategy in a dynamic bull market. Compared to a direct investment, however, the risk of a writer of put options is never higher because he receives a premium.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1a5c622 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"1a5c622\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Conclusion<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7c53e7c elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"7c53e7c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Investors who want to receive attractive and above all regular income on their capital are in exactly the right place with the premium strategy &#8211; known in technical jargon as cash-secured puts.
