In a stock insurance company, who typically receives dividends?

In a stock insurance company, shareholders typically receive dividends as a return on their investment in the company. Stock insurance companies operate similarly to publicly traded corporations, where individuals or institutional investors purchase shares and become part-owners of the company. When the company generates profit, it may distribute a portion of these profits to shareholders in the form of dividends.

Policyholders are more likely to receive dividends in mutual insurance companies, where the company is owned by the policyholders rather than shareholders. In a stock insurance company, policyholders do not have ownership stakes and therefore do not benefit from dividends. Government entities and employees typically do not receive dividends unless they hold shares in the company. Thus, the correct answer reflects the relationship between stock ownership and dividend distribution in these types of insurance companies.
