“Potential” is a word that covers a myriad of elements in the world of insurance, many of which can be vague. However, in the case of Europe that potential is very real.

As 2021 draws to a close, and we reflect on another year dominated by COVID-19 and disruptions, there is however a sense of optimism in Cayman’s insurance industry where its practitioners will reflect on a period of further growth and innovation and its continued ability to adapt. This is aptly illustrated by the fact that the Cayman Captive Forum is virtual this year.

It has been another remarkable year for the US captive insurance industry, and we are proud to present the latest issue of US Focus, an issue that is packed full of interesting contributions and which, we hope, does justice to the many fascinating developments that are currently taking place in the captives industry, in particular in the US market. There is clearly a buzz around the industry right now and there are many good reasons for that. The market continues to harden, with prices increasing across many lines, and coverage still difficult to get on attractive terms, in some instances, in the commercial market. |

Bermuda remains the default choice for many of the largest companies in the world looking to set up their own captive. Its regulator and rules are well known and trusted, and the infrastructure supporting the industry is second to none. It is the global centre for insurance linked securities, which are being used in increasingly diverse and interesting ways, including by a growing number of captives. When a business has a complex or unusual risk to insure, for which coverage is unavailable in the commercial market, Bermuda is the obvious place to turn, while Bermuda Focus is the obvious place to read about it. |

US Focus 2020
This issue reports on the increasingly vibrant US legacy market, where captives are divesting themselves of older liabilities to focus on new opportunities. It also looks at how captives have helped their parent companies survive the pandemic by providing much-needed liquidity during economic lock-downs, and how the COVID-19 pandemic has affected healthcare captives. We also report on the latest developments with microcaptives, and how some believe they could be the perfect vehicles for writing pandemic coverage, despite increasing pressure from the IRS. |
