Aloha!
Welcome to our readers of the first issue of Atlas Insurance Risk &
Business Magazine. Our goal is to help our readers navigate their
way through the ever-moving complexities of insurance. We
hope to provide you with the latest information to help protect
the four most valuable things to you: your life, family, staff, and
assets.
Most people hate dealing with insurance due to its complexities.
So naturally, they see insurance as a commodity and focus on
who has the lowest premium. What good is having the lowest

Can one policy really fit the needs of us all? Of course not. This
is why at Atlas Insurance, we do things differently. We take the
time to approach each client — one at a time — and understand
his or her unique needs. Then, we collaborate with the client to
address the most competitive options that will meet his or her
insurance needs.
Every client wants to keep premiums down, and so do we. The
best way to achieve this goal is to keep claims costs down. This
is why Atlas Insurance incurs the expense of having the largest
group of risk control and claims consultants in Hawaii to help
our clients achieve this goal. We make the same commission
as our competitors, but we feel an obligation to take on this
additional expense. As partners to our clients, we want to keep
their claims costs and ultimately their premiums, down.
We hope this magazine will help you, our readers, by providing
meaningful insurance information. Please feel free to provide
feedback on this magazine and any other topics you feel
would be helpful to you. You can contact me at mmurakami@

Mahalo!
