Perpetual insurance is a form of homeowners insurance procedure written to have no term, or date, when the policy expires. From the effective start date, the coverage exists for perpetuity. The insured deposits funds, called a deposit premium, with the insurer for insurance for the existence of the risk. The deposit is frequently ten times bigger than the cost of a non-refundable, annual premium for a correspondent policy with a one-year term. The insurer must bring in enough income from investing the deposits to cover losses and operating expenses for the model to be economically feasible. Upon annulment, the insured is entitled to a full reimbursement of the initial deposit premium, usually without interest. Perpetual insurance, first issued in the U.S. in Philadelphia in 1752, is still used for fire and home¬owner’s insurance. In the United States, there are also tax compensations to perpetual insurance. The deposit premium does not defer any income to the insured. However, the expense of the annual premium for term homeowners insurance is eliminated.
