Globally, there are over 6,500 captives formed as end of 2017. Self insurance through captives is an established and cost-effective way of protecting your assets. Nevertheless, it is a fair point of view that captives increasingly carry a considerable amount of risk that they assume on behalf of their parent entity and can pose the risk of potential insolvency under certain circumstances.
Therefore, it is essential that corporations understand captives and how they can be utilised to manage volatility arising from the changing risk landscape and the changing needs of their parent entity.
Join us at this conference, organised by Labuan IBFC and Swiss Re Corporate Solutions Ltd (Labuan Branch), to understand how captives can be specifically tailored to various business models and learn about the tools that will help captive owners transform insurance from a business cost to a risk management initiative.
Event participation is complimentary and by invitation only. Please submit a request for invitation via the link below.
