  Insurance underwriters
Underwriters are needed to identify and calculate the risk of loss from policyholders, establish appropriate premium rates, and write policies that cover this risk.
Most underwriters are based in the insurance company’s home office, but some, mainly in the property and casualty area, work out of regional branch offices of the insurance company.
Underwriters are needed particularly in the area of product development, where they assess risks and set the premiums for new lines of insurance.

  Underwriter -- A complete definition
Underwriters usually maintain a secondary market in the securities they issue, which means they agree to purchase or sell securities out of their own inventories in order to keep the price of the securities from swinging wildly.
Underwriters often mitigate this risk by forming a syndicate whose members each share a portion of the shares in return for a portion of the fee.
Underwriters work hard to determine the “right” price for an offering, but sometimes they “leave money on the table.” For example, if XYZ Company prices its 10-million-share IPO at $15 per share but the shares trade at $30 two days after the IPO, this suggests that the underwriter probably underestimated the demand for the issue.

 EVALUATION OF UNDERWRITER PROPOSALS
In some cases, the underwriter selection process is noncompetitive, e.g., the underwriter selection is based on a previous business or personal relationship with the issuer.
One underwriter even offered to guarantee that the NIC of its bond issue would be lower than comparable issues marketed in the state for a period including two days before the actual date of the proposed sale.
Two ways that underwriters manipulate the NIC in bond financing proposals are to structure a serialized bond issue with relatively higher coupon interest rates for early maturities, or to require proportionately higher principal redemption amounts for the later maturities.
