n.
Usually
,
the

cash

Reserve
n.
The
amount
of
funds
or
assets
necessary
for
a
company
to
have
at
any
given
time
to
enable
it,
with
interest
and
premiums
paid
as
they
shall
accure
, to
meet
all
claims
on
the
insurance
then
in
force
as
they
would
mature
according
to
the
particular
mortality
table
accepted
.
The
reserve
is
always
reckoned
as a
liability
,
and
is
calculated
on
net
premiums
. It is
theoretically
the
difference
between
the
present
value
of
the
total
insurance
and
the
present
value
of
the
future
premiums
on
the
insurance
.
The
reserve
,
being
an
amount
for
which
another
company
could
,
theoretically
,
afford
to
take
over
the
insurance
, is
sometimes
called
the
reinsurance
fund
or
the
self
-
insurance
fund
.
For
the
first
year
upon
any
policy
the
net
premium
is
called
the
initial
reserve
,
and
the
balance
left
at
the
end
of
the
year
including
interest
is
the
terminal
reserve
.
For
subsequent
years
the
initial
reserve
is
the
net
premium
, if
any
,
plus
the
terminal
reserve
of
the
previous
year
.
The
portion
of
the
reserve
to be
absorbed
from
the
initial
reserve
in
any
year
in
payment
of
losses
is
sometimes
called
the
insurance
reserve
,
and
the
terminal
reserve
is
then
called
the
investment
reserve
.
