Managing risk has been in existence since the 2nd Millennium BC. The early Chinese and Babylonians both recognized the need to mitigate exposure on their trade routes. During that time a supplier would place a small fee on the cost of the goods to ensure that in the event of a loss the vendor would not have to pay for the lost goods. If an accident or theft occurred the vendor was released of the debt. As trade evolved and shipping became more popular, ship captains and merchants began meeting in a coffee shop owned by Edward Lloyd. Today we know this company as Lloyd's of London. Privateers would attack shipping routes and seize cargo resulting in a loss to the shipper. Captains and merchants would meet and hire underwriter's to insure the cargo in the event of a loss. As commerce evolved into the industry we have today, the methods of managing risk have also evolved. The insurance industry became a multi-faceted market with agents specializing in a certain product line or niche market.
