`
`NAICS Sector: 52 Finance and Insurance
`
`The Finance and Insurance sector comprises establishments primarily engaged in financial transactions (transactions involving the creation, liquidation, or change in
`O\Wership of financial assets) and/or in facilitating financial transactions. Three principal types of activities are identified:
`
`Raising funds by taking deposits and/or issuing securities and, in the process, incurring liabilities. Establishments engaged in this activity use raised funds to acquire
`financial assets by making loans and/or purchasing securities. Putting themselves at risk, they channel funds from lenders to borrowers and transfurm or repackage the
`funds with respect to maturity, scale and risk. This activity is kno\W as financial intermediation
`
`Pooling of risk by IDl.derwriting insurance and annuities. Establislunents engaged in this activity collect tees, insurance premiums, or annuity considerations; build up
`reserves; invest those reserves; and make contractual payments. Fees are based on the expected incilence of the insured risk and the expected return on investment.
`
`Providing specialized services filcilitating or supporting financial intermediation, insurance, and employee benefit programs.
`
`In addition, monetary authorities charged with monetary control are included in this sector.
`
`The subsectors, industry groups, and industries within the NAICS Finance and Insurance sector are defined on the basis oftheir unique production processes. As
`with all industries, the production processes are distinguished by their use of specialized human resources and specialized physical capital In addition, the way in
`which these establislunents acquire and allocate financial capital, their source of funds, and the use of those funds provides a third basis fur distinguishing
`characteristics of the production process. For instance, the production process in raising funds through deposit-taking is difierent from the process of raising funds in
`bond or money markets. The process of making loans to individuals also requires difierent production processes than does the creati:m of investment pools or the
`IDl.derwriting of securities.
`
`Most of the Finance and Insurance subsectors contain one or more industry groups of(l) intermediaries with similar patterns of raising and using funds and (2)
`establishments engaged in activities that facilitate, or are otherwise related to, that type of financial or insurance intermediation
`
`Industries within this sector are defined in terms of activities fur which a production process can be specified, and many of these activities are not exclusive to a
`particular type of financial institution To deal with the varied activities taking place within existing financial institutions, the approach is to split these institutions into
`components perfurrning specialized services. This requires defining the ID1.its engaged in providing those services and developing procedures that allow fur their
`delineation These ID1.its are the equivalents fur finance and insurance of the establishments defined fur other industries.
`
`The output of many financial services, as well as the inputs and the processes by which they are combined, cannot be observed at a single location and can only be
`defined at a higher level of the organizational structure of the enterprise. Additionally, a number of independent activities that represent separate and distinct
`producti:>n processes may take place at a single location belonging to a muhilocation financial :firm. Activities are more likely to be homogeneous with respect to
`producti>n characteristics than are locations, at least in financial services. The classification defines activities broadly enough that it can be used both by those
`classiJYing by location and by those employing a more top-do\W approach to the delineation of the establishment.
`
`Establishments engaged in activities that facilitate, or are otherwise related to, the various types of intermediation have been included in individual subsectors, rather
`than in a separate subsector dedicated to services alone because these services are perfurmed by intermediaries as well as by specialist establishments and the extent
`to which the activity of the intermediaries can be separately identified is not clear.
`
`The Finance and Insurance sector has been defined to encompass establishments prirnanly engaged in financial transactions; that is, transactions involving the creation,
`liquidation, or change in O\Wership of financial assets or in filcilitating financial transactions. Financial industries are extensive users of electronic means fur facilitating
`the verification of financial balances, authorizing transactions, transrerring funds to and from transactors' accoiDl.ts, notiJYing banks (or credit card issuers) of the
`individual transactions, and providing daily summaries. Since these transaction processing activities are integral to the production of finance and insurance services,
`establishments that principally provide a financial transaction processing service are classified to this sector, rather than to the data processing industry in the
`InfOrmation sector.
`
`Legal entities that hold portfOlios of assets on behalf of others are significant and data on them are required fur a variety of purposes. Thus fur NAICS, these funds,
`trusts, and other financial vehicles are the fifth subsector of the Finance and Insurance sector. These entities earn interest, dividends, and other property income, but
`have little or no employment and no revenue from the sale of services. Separate establishments and employees devoted to the management of funds are classified in
`Industry Group 5239, Other Financial Investment Activities.
