# Assets

> Create and manage assets on the Korint platform.

## Asset object

An asset represents an object covered by the insurance contract. Assets will contain object details, the current valid quote, and chosen coverage.
Assets are always linked to a policy: the policy's lifecycle usually directly impacts the asset's, except that assets each have their own start date so can be active independently.

**General**

* startedAt: the date at which the asset becomes or became active
* stoppedAt: the stop date of the asset
  * stop: if the asset is stopped, more details about the stop reason
* quote: details about the chosen coverage, and a comprehensive breakdown of taxes, fees, and premiums. See [quote](/concepts/quotes) for more details.
* policy: link to the policy

**Product specific information**

* custom fields: a list of product specific attributes. For more details check out [custom fields](/concepts/customization/custom-fields).

## Asset statuses

Asset statuses usually change at the same time as policy statuses.

| Status            | Allowed Operations                                                                                                                                                                                          | Next Status                      |
