Sinopse

Bizarre Insurance explores the world of specialized insurance policies, revealing the surprising rationale behind insuring against the seemingly uninsurable. These policies, often covering improbable events, demonstrate how risk assessment, market demand, and human ingenuity converge. For instance, celebrities insure unique assets like vocal cords, highlighting the industry's capacity to cater to specialized needs. The book argues that even outlandish policies, such as those insuring against alien abduction, are rooted in economic calculations and serve as innovative marketing tools.

 
Beginning with a framework for understanding risk quantification, the book analyzes risk perception and the economics of niche insurance. It progresses through categories like celebrity insurance and contingency coverage for event cancellations. The approach is analytical rather than sensational, drawing on actuarial reports and psychological studies. Readers gain insights into risk management, marketing strategies, and the true value of specialized insurance, relevant for professionals and anyone interested in the finance industry's more unconventional corners.

    Known internationally as The Dean Of Risk Arbitrage, Guy Wyser-Pratte is a force majeure of shareholder activism. 
    Born to a Hungarian-Jewish father and an Austrian-Catholic mother, Guy (Ghee) has lived a life shaped by history, ambition, and risk. From an idyllic childhood on the beaches of Cannes to narrowly escaping war-torn Europe, his journey is one of resilience, fortune, and survival against all odds. His background as a US Marine Corps infantry officer foreshadows his ability to lead into a storm. 
    At just five years old, Guy was moments from death while attempting to crawl to freedom through a hole in a fence to Switzerland from Occupied Annecy, France. That near-death experience at the business end of a Nazi soldier's rifle, forever imprinted on his memory-becomming a defining moment of his life: a lesson in the fragility of fate, the necessity of taking risks when the stakes are highest, and the courage to cut your own path. 
    "Every time I uncovered corporate misbehavior at the expense of shareholders, I felt an immediate surge of purpose. I wasn't built to sit quietly and passively sweat out individual risk-arbitrage deals. That just wasn't me. By the 1990s, I was actively going after managements in the United States that were failing their shareholders." 
    -Guy Wyser Pratte 
    "There are men who follow the rules, and there are men who rewrite them. Guy Wyser-Pratte has never been interested in the former." 
    -Brig. Gen. Thomas V. Draude 
    Guy P. Wyser-Pratte, MBA is considered by many to be the founding father of shareholder activism. He is a U.S. Marine Corps Officer, an award-winning and celebrated arbatrageur, a fund manager with 38% returns, and sports a storied history of iconic, disruptive mischief in the name of shareholder value.

    ● What impact new political trends—environmental, social, governance (ESG) and diversity equity and inclusion (DEI)—have had on managing your own money
