Capital

Capital is a term in finance for the initial money invested in any enterprise to begin or run it which may be increased in due course of time, and also a city designated as such if it serves as headquarters of a state. In share market, Capital is the equity of shareholders of a stock insurance company. The company's capital and surplus are measured by the difference between its assets minus its liabilities. This value protects the interests of the company's policy-owners in the event it develops financial problems; the policy-owners' benefits are thus protected by the insurance company's capital. Shareholders' interest is second to that of policy-owners.
