What’s the Difference?
Standard Market
For best-in-class businesses, traditional insurance has historically been the go-to-choice for managing risk. However, it often comes with costly challenges.
-
Fluctuating insurance costs regardless of claims experience
-
Market volatility beyond your control
-
Limited influence over claims management
-
The stress of last-minute renewals
-
Insurance carrier retains profits
Captive Program
A group captive brings together best-in-class companies who join to form their own insurance company. The captive is controlled by its owners, enabling companies to break free from the standard market.
