CAPTIVE REINSURANCE

December 9, 2016

An important corporate function is reducing exposure to risk. Very often, corporations purchase insurance on the commercial market to protect their interests. In some cases, a company may not be able to acquire the coverage it needs to cover certain risks, or the premium may be prohibitively expensive. In these cases, companies can consider using a captive insurance company to achieve their risk-management objectives. A captive operates similarly to a commercial insurance company. However, the primary role of the captive is to insure or reinsure the risk exposure of the parent company and its affiliates. Employers may gain tax and investment advantages by owning a captive. This white paper will provide background on the formation of captives and explain how a captive reinsurance arrangement can be used for employee benefits.
