Participation insurance refers to the insurance activities carried out which are in accordance with the principles of participation. In short, participation insurance is insurance which works according to the method of aid and solidarity. In participation insurance, contribution premiums of the insured persons are collected in a pool called the mutual aid and solidarity fund or risk fund, and the losses incurred by the participants (policy holders) are compensated from this pool.
The basic principles of the Participation Insurance System can be listed as follows;
Finding the element/purpose of solidarity,
The ownership of the premium pool, where the premiums are collected, belongs to the policy holders, not the operator company,
The legal relationship between the insured persons and the operator company consists of a service (power of attorney) relationship,
The premiums collected from the insured and the company's equity are invested in interest-free products such as participation banks, sukuk, the BIST participation index, precious metals, foreign currency, etc. in different pools,
Insurance coverage is not provided for economic assets which are not compatible with the principles of Islamic finance.
