Description of company
The Fotherington Insurance Group is an insurance and reinsurance company operating in Second Life. We provide four types of insurance (two aimed at residents, two aimed at SL companies):
1. we insure the shares held by residents in various companies listed on SL exchanges against those shares becoming worthless as a result of the company going bankrupt or through fraud. See here for a list of companies we are willing to cover and here for how it works, what you get and what you pay.
2. we write other types of insurance for residents, such as ISE deposit insurance.
3. we provide reinsurance to other SL insurance companies.
4. we provide insurance direct to other SL financial institutions.
Insurance Security
The assets which back the insurance contracts is 100% cash held on avatars, and is ring fenced against any other activities of the company. We hold sufficient cash on avatars to cover our four largest exposures. Hence, our clients may have the security in knowing that events which may affect the Second Life economy and therefore cause their own investments to become worthless affect the ability of The Fotheringtin Insurance Group to meet its obligations as they fall due.
