Single-Parent Captives
What is a single-parent captive?
A single-parent captive, also called a pure captive, is a licensed reinsurance company formed by a corporation to (re)insure its own risks. Single-parent captives have been around as self-insurance tools in one form or another since the late 19th century. They grew in use during the 1950s and 1960s, with adoption expanding dramatically during the challenging liability markets of the mid-1980s.1
What are the benefits of a single-parent captive?
Today, single-parent captives help companies in virtually all industry segments manage non-life, life and employee benefit insurance programs, with many now accepting third-party business to help parent organizations further share risk.
Single-parent captives help companies build greater flexibility and predictability into their risk management strategies, with greater cost control and awareness about their risk exposures.
