Description

In the middle of the hurricane season, we take a look at the role of captives in natural catastrophe programs. Traditionally this has been an area that is challenging for captives due to the volatility of the risk and resulting capital requirements. However, with the insurance market tightening and traditional insurance products not addressing the broader economic damages from these events, can new approaches including captives be the answer? Topics covered include:

  • Natural catastrophe trends
  • Traditional property market challenges
  • Captive participation in traditional property programs
  • Parametric nat cat and weather-related insurance
  • Use of captives in parametric programs

This webinar is for any captive owners with natural catastrophe exposures or anyone wishing to understand how captives can be used in these programs as well as anyone looking for an introduction to parametric natural catastrophe insurance products.
