Dictionaries

Our in-depth technical dictionaries define and explain nearly 8,000 terms – an online encyclopaedia for insurance and financial services practitioners.

Dictionary of insurance
In association with FT Prentice Hall we present a fully searchable and cross-referenced dictionary of insurance. The dictionary provides detailed definitions of over 3,500 terms, covering all branches of insurance as well as related subjects like pensions, financial services regulation and risk management. The dictionary also includes many legal and financial expressions commonly employed in the industry as well as abbreviations and Latin terms.

Dictionary of finance and investment
In association with Lamont's Glossary Ltd we present an in-depth dictionary of finance and investment, providing in-depth definitions of more than 4,000 terms. The dictionary has comprehensive cross-referencing and a powerful search engine as well as video clips and a discussion forum where you can propose new terms for inclusion.
