Bus/Financial - Insurance
Swedish term or phrase: försäkringstagare
My dictionary gives both 'policyholder' and '(the) insured'. How does this differ to 'försäkrad' and 'försäkad person?


Arbetsgivaren är försäkringstagare och har
tecknat detta försäkringsavtal för sina
anställda som försäkrade, om inte annat
framgår av försäkringsbrevet.
Försäkringstagaren har ensam rätt att ingå
avtal med xxx om ändring eller upp-
hörande av försäkringen och att mottaga
uppsägning av försäkringen.Försäkrad per-
son är ägare till försäkring som avser honom
eller henne.

policy holder
Explanation:
In this case the policy holder and the insured are not the same people/person as they often are.

The employer has taken out insurance for his employees, who are the insured.

The policy holder (who foots the bill) has different rights and obligations from the insured who are covered by the policy.

Just my take on it - someone else may be able to explain better.
