Tariq Alzoubi

Abstract


This paper investigates the effects of the diversification of insurance companies on their total risk by controlling size, capital and profitability on a sample, which includes all listed insurance companies in the Amman stock exchange for the period of 2009-2018. The results demonstrate that the diversification, size, capital ratio and profitability have a significant negative effect on total risk.

Keywords: insurance companies, diversification, total risk.
