insured sum vs sum insured

[ostap77]

What do you call the amount of money paid to reflect the cost of replacing the insured property? Is it the insured sum, sum insured or insured capital?

1) Sum insured -OK?

2) Insured sum_OK?

3) Sum insurance-OK?

4) Insurance sum-OK?

5) Insured capital-OK?

1 :tick: 2-4 :cross: 5 might be used if you have insured a number of goods insured, and need to refer to one total that includes them all.

Would it make sense to talk about reduced relative clauses as postmodifiers here?
