Description
A hardening commercial insurance market and the economic impact from the on-going pandemic are coming together to put pressure on captives to do more with less. With constraints on capital, how does a captive decide which opportunities it should be underwriting and how best to use that capital. In this webinar we look at the benefits of risk diversification and how a risk-based capital approach may allow captives to underwrite more coverages without significantly increasing capital requirements.
Specific topics covered include:
- Captive capitalization requirements
- Traditional line of coverage approach to setting capital requirements
- Risk-based capital measures and the benefits of diversification
- Solvency II requirements
- US and other domiciles
- Structured reinsurance and the use of a portfolio approach
This webinar is suitable for any current or prospective captive owner looking at how best to use their captive in a hardening insurance market.
