Bus/Financial - Insurance
Portuguese term or phrase: estipulante
De acordo com a opção do Estipulante ratificada nas Condições Particulares deste Seguro, o custeio poderá ser:

a) Não contributário – em que os Segurados não pagam prêmio, recaindo o ônus do Seguro totalmente sobre o **Estipulante**;

I'm confused about the difference between "estipulante" and "segurado" - the KudoZ glossary has them with the same meaning. Please see the previous question for "segurado."

TIA for any help you can give me with this!

Policy Holder; (company) Policy Holders
Explanation:
The policyholder, like a company, may not be an insured 'party' at all e.g. a company insuring the (co-)drivers of a fleet of cars who are the 'insured'. So it is wholly misleading for the IATE website to give the entry of policyholder for segurado.

If a corporation, the policy holder may be pluralised and then referred to as they and them throughout.

plan sponsor


Explanation:
If we compare the meanings in Portuguese and in English:

Estipulante: Definição. Pessoa física ou jurídica que contrata um seguro a favor do segurado.
http://wiki.advfn.com/pt/Estipulante

Plan Sponsor:

A designated party, usually a company or employer, that sets up a healthcare or retirement plan such as a 401(k) for the benefit of the organization's employees. The responsibilities of the plan sponsor include determining membership parameters, investment choices and, in some cases, providing contribution payments in the form of cash and/or stock.
