Captives & Risk Management
What is a Captive?
A captive insurance company is an insurance company owned by an insured. While this definition is imperfect when considering various structures, it is the simplest explanation. Traditional insurance companies allow insureds to transfer their risk to them in exchange for premium. The insurance companies distribute such risk in various ways, the most important of which for this discussion are “critical mass” and “reinsurance.”
