This type focuses on assessing the risk of insuring an individual's life. Factors such as age, health history, lifestyle choices, and occupation are considered to determine the premium rates.

The underwriter buys the entire issue of securities from the issuer and resells them to the public, assuming full financial risk.
b. Best Efforts Underwriting
The underwriter agrees to sell as much of the issue as possible but does not guarantee the sale of the entire amount, thus sharing the risk with the issuer.
c. Standby Underwriting
This type involves the underwriter agreeing to purchase any unsold shares after a public offering, providing a safety net for the issuer.
