Europe Focus 2021
Europe has always had a vibrant insurance market. Lloyd’s is perhaps the most famous and historic insurance institution in the world, while many of the larger insurance companies—including AXA, Zurich, Swiss Re and Munich Re—are European. In the world of captives, though, Europe remains a relative backwater, with most of the action taking place in the US, Bermuda, and the Cayman Islands.
Cayman Focus 2021
The COVID-19 pandemic has been difficult for governments and businesses everywhere. Some jurisdictions, however, enter 2021 with their reputations enhanced by the decisive and effective steps they took to halt the spread of the virus, as well as helping businesses maintain their operations. The Cayman Islands is one such jurisdiction.
US Awards 2020
A captive is more than a mere subsidiary of its owner. It is a team of service providers, each providing distinct services in its own area of expertise. Having the right service providers is vital if a company is going to get the most out of its captive. Captive International’s US Captive Awards were intended to identify the best-in-class service providers in each category.
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 lockdowns, 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.
