Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Companies face hazards lurking every day
Cyber breaches, floods, and lawsuits on the way
Calculate exposure, weigh potential loss
Self-insurance funds or premiums we'll cross
Actuaries crunch the numbers, odds align
Risk appetite determines where we draw the line

[Chorus]
Transfer, retain, or share the weight
TRIC analysis seals your fate
Transfer through contracts, retain what's small
Insurance pools to catch the fall
Deductibles set your retention floor
Coverage limits guard your corporate door

[Verse 2]
Property and casualty, the basic shield
Directors' errors, omissions can't yield
Captive insurers, wholly owned subsidiary
Alternative markets when traditional rates vary
Finite risk deals blend insurance with loans
Catastrophe bonds let capital clone

[Chorus]
Transfer, retain, or share the weight
TRIC analysis seals your fate
Transfer through contracts, retain what's small
Insurance pools to catch the fall
Deductibles set your retention floor
Coverage limits guard your corporate door

[Bridge]
Expected losses multiply by frequency
Severity models show the tendency
Monte Carlo simulations run the test
Value at Risk calculations suggest the rest
Hold harmless clauses shift liability
Indemnification secures accountability

[Verse 3]
Derivatives hedge the financial swings
Credit default swaps on risky things
Weather derivatives for seasonal bets
Currency forwards prevent exchange regrets
Self-insured retentions optimize the cost
Excess coverage when primary's lost

[Chorus]
Transfer, retain, or share the weight
TRIC analysis seals your fate
Transfer through contracts, retain what's small
Insurance pools to catch the fall
Deductibles set your retention floor
Coverage limits guard your corporate door

[Outro]
Risk management matrix guides the choice
Let analytics be your trusted voice
