Captives / Alternative Risk
The Captive and Alternative Risk Transfer Market (ART) is the Fastest Growing Commercial Insurance Market
A broad and simple definition of Alternative Risk Transfer is when a commercial insurance consumer assumes a portion of its own risk in exchange for lower premiums or a reduction in their net cost of insurance.
Why is alternative risk transfer insurance growing so fast?
Alternative risk transfer is growing because high performing companies...
- don’t pay high premiums to subsidize low-performing members whose premiums are inadequate to pay their claims
- gain access to profits (underwriting profit and investment income) generated from current insurance premiums
- get more control of claim management, risk management, and with whom they share their risk
- gain stability and predictability in their premiums rather than the typical market swings of the insurance industry
- High Deductible Plans
- Self Insured Retention (SIR) Plans
- Retrospectively Rated Plans
- Individual or Group Qualified Self Insured Plans
- Risk Retention Groups
- Captive insurance company formations
- Single Parent Captive
- Rent-A-Captives
- Group Captives
Not every company qualifies for alternative risk transfer . This market is typically available only to companies with low risk profiles and a dedication to maintaining safe operations.
