Captive International’s US Focus 2025 edition has been launched – it is available to read here. 

This is your definitive guide to the trends, challenges, and opportunities shaping the US captive insurance market. Timed to coincide with the 40th anniversary of the Vermont Captive Insurance Association’s (VCIA) annual conference, this year’s publication examines the forces driving market resilience, innovation, and strategic change across the sector.

The issue brings together in-depth analysis, exclusive interviews, and expert commentary on topics from leadership transitions to legislative shifts, market growth, and the future of captives in an increasingly complex risk environment. 

Highlights include a conversation with Kevin Mead (pictured) on his retirement from the VCIA presidency, a panel discussion on the state of the industry, and expert insight into the potential impact of the Trump administration’s One Big Beautiful Bill Act.

Also, inside the issue:
