Description

The commercial insurance market for Directors and Officers liability (D&O) has seen some of the largest premium increases in the commercial market over the past year with capacity also shrinking. Using a captive for D&O though is not straight forward. In this webinar we look at the challenges of captive use for D&O and where it may be viable. Topics covered include:

• The state of the commercial market for D&O risk
• The challenges in insuring D&O in a captive including
  • Conflict of interest and indemnification considerations
  • Premium and capital requirements
  • Fronting and reinsurance support
• Opportunities for captive use
  • Single parent structures
  • Group captive structures including use in private equity and SPAC settings
  • Short term and run-off situations
