Long Tail

Long tail liabilities are the ones that keep an insurer’s book open indefinitely. Insurers face a significant and unknown number of claims that have occurred but may not be reported for years, such as personal accidents.

Books must stay open because insurers cannot know if and when a claim will land. One claim could be worth millions and may involve litigation.

Major insurers can invest premium funds as reserves but this class is unpredictable. It is very expensive to get wrong.
