2 Presentation Topics Introductions Captive Primer Captive Utilization The Feasibility Process Incorporation Ongoing Operations
3 Primer: the Basics What is a captive A limited purpose, licensed insurance company, the main business purpose of which is to insure the risks of the captive s owners A risk assumption vehicle An insurance or reinsurance company Specifically established to insure or reinsure the risks of its parent or associated third parties
4 Primer: the Basics HIGH Self-Insured Trust Complete assumption of risk with limited regulation Single Parent Captive Complete assumption of risk Subject to Regulatory Oversight Group Captive Pooling of Risk with Participants subject to Corporate Governance Deductible Policy Significant/complete risk assumption in exchange for deductible credit Retro Policy Assumption of limited risk in exchange for potential return premium Deferred pay-in premium LOW Guaranteed Cost Complete transfer of risk Commercial insurance with no deductible HIGH Financial Control
5 Primer: the Basics Captives have a long history, been around since the 1920 s In 2011 there are over 5,000 active captives globally with annual captive premium estimated around $60 billion The top 5 domiciles globally: Bermuda Cayman Vermont Guernsey British Virgin Islands 5
6 Primer: Benefits of a Captive Reduced long term costs Underwriting profit and investment income belongs to the captive Premiums are based on the loss experience of the captive, not on the expense needs of an insurance company Able to write off full premium while captive builds reserve Potential for lower overhead costs
7 Primer: Benefits of a Captive Reduced long term costs Aggregation of similar risk can reduce overall premiums Captive allows for direct access to reinsurance market and provides greater leverage for reinsurance Implementation of best practices in the captive lowers frequency and severity of loss which drives down cost of risk The captive facility provides accountability and auditing of risk management practices, ensuring improvements in loss costs
8 Primer: Benefits of a Captive Better Control Improved risk management provides benefit to captive owners Greater control over claims handling Captives allow businesses to be insulated from the market cycles of the insurance industry Alignment of interest redefines risk transfer discussions Improved Coverage Coverage can be tailored to meet the specific needs of the policy holders industry specific coverages Underwriting flexibility to provide coverage where it is unavailable or cost prohibitive Risks that are underwritten are exactly those of the company owner(s)
9 Primer: Types of Captives Single Parent Captives insure the risks of the owner or brother sister companies Group/Association Captives typically formed and owned by members of an industry or trade association to share the risks of the industry Agency Captives owned by insurance broker to insure client risks. Most established as rent-a-captives Risk Retention Group (RRG) members must be engaged in similar business activities, have homogenous risks and write only liability risks
10 Primer: Single Parent Captive Structure Shareholder Parent Company Premiums Insurance Policies Captive Investments
11 Primer: Group Structure Insured 1 Insured 2 Insured 3 Insured 4 Insured 5 Insured 6 1 Fronting Carrier 2 Captive Facility 4 3 Owner 1 Owner 2 Owner 3 Owner 4 Owner 5 Owner Each individual insured purchases insurance from a common insurance company who has agreed to provide fronting to the captive transaction The fronting company cedes a certain amount of the risk and premium to a captive The captive s owners are the same organizations who bought the insurance in the first place The captive has internal rules which govern how risks are shared between members, when profits are dividended to shareholders, and how the captive is governed
12 Risk Considerations Type of Captive based upon risk philosophy: Group Captive limited control risk sharing elements Segregated Cell or Rent-a-captive limited control potential risk sharing elements RRG better control potential risk sharing elements Single Parent Captive optimal control for the long term
13 Primer: Types of Facilities Segregated Cell Captives each cell is risk sharing facility segregated by walls Rent-a-Captive licensed insurer formed by their owners to insure the risks of other organizations for a fee
14 Primer: Segregated Cell Captive Structure Segregated Captive Facility Facility Owner Cell 1 Insured 1 Beneficial Owner 1 Cell 2 Insured 2 Beneficial Owner 2
15 Primer: Types of Risks
16 Types of Captive Utilization Retained Risk Finance Infrastructure for providing transparency, validation, and rationalization of retained risk positions Enhancing risk management efforts Accelerating tax treatment of deductible liabilities Risk Transfer Rate Arbitrage Reinsurance market cost of risk transfer is less than commercial retail cost of risk transfer Better use of capital to retain risk than transfer it Managing total cost of risk Access to Capacity Federal programs (TRIA) Reinsurance capacity, which may not be otherwise accessible in commercial retail market (trade credit risk, +10 yr pollutions risks) Entrepreneurial Utilizations Franchisee programs Consumer facing insurance programs (warranty, service contract, point of sale insurances, etc) Affiliate business (vendors, VAPs, distributors, etc) Agency captives 3 rd party business
17 Utilization: Retained Risk Finance There are generally two models for managing retained risks in captives: Deductible Reimbursement Programs, and Catastrophe Excess Programs Each have different motivators, benefits, and challenges Deductible Reimb Workers compensation General liability Auto liability Product or service extended warranty Construction exposures Environmental liability Property and business interruption Equipment maintenance Managed care errors and omissions EE Benefits Self-insured medical stoploss (non-erisa) Reputation/brand/loss of income risks Intellectual property (patent, trademark, copyright) Product recall coverage Medicare fraud and abuse insurance Punitive damages coverage International kidnapping protection Trade credit risk Professional and products liability Cyber-risk Cat Excess Director and Officer liability Employment practices liability
18 Utilization: Deductible Reimbursement Programs Financing retained risk positions under existing commercial deductible programs An infrastructure for transparency, validation, rationalization of retained risk positions; Bring senior management visibility to risk management efforts and the real cost of risk; Funding loss control, risk management, claims incentive programs; Enhancing risk management and safety outcomes by aligning business center leadership to risk management outcomes; Accelerating tax treatment of deductible liabilities. Key Characteristics: frequency driven, long tail, high volume liabilities Deductible Reimb Workers compensation General liability Auto liability Product or service extended warranty Construction exposures Environmental liability Property and business interruption Equipment maintenance Managed care errors and omissions EE Benefits Self-insured medical stoploss (non-erisa)
19 Utilization: Deductible Reimbursement Programs How do they Work? The insured continues to purchase deductible insurance programs form the commercial market; The insured then purchases a deductible reimbursement program form their captive, paying a premium equivalent to their loss picks under the commercial deductible program; In the commercial deductible program, the insured will be required to post a security instrument of some sort, it is possible, upon negotiating with the carrier, that the premiums that the insured pays to the captive be used to secure the insured s liabilities under the commercial deductible program Risk Transfer Program (Excess Insurance over Deductible) Insured s Deductible Fits into the deductible layer Deductible Reimbursement Program (provided by the Captive) (Aggregate Stop Loss)
20 Utilization: Catastrophe Risk Excess Programs Financing retained risk positions in the excess layers where commercial capacity is not available An infrastructure for transparency, validation, rationalization of retained risk positions; Bring senior management visibility to risk management efforts and the real cost of risk; Possibility to access reinsurance markets capacity where retail market capacity is insufficient; Does not translate into risk transfer, in most cases Challenged to achieve accelerated tax treatment of retained liabilities. Key Characteristics: low frequency, high severity, board attention, limited capacity, need to show consideration of exposure (ERM, S&P) Reputation/brand/loss of income risks Intellectual property (patent, trademark, copyright) Product recall coverage Medicare fraud and abuse insurance Punitive damages coverage International kidnapping protection Trade credit risk Professional and products liability Cyber-risk Cat Excess Director and Officer liability Employment practices liability
21 Utilization: Reinsurance (Rate Arbitrage & Capacity) Accessing risk transfer cost or capacity in the reinsurance market which is otherwise unavailable in the commercial retail market Opportunity to reduce total cost of risk transfer when there is a significant differential between the retail and the reinsurance markets for similarly valued limits Opportunity to access capacity which is only available on a reinsurance basis Opportunity to access federal programs (like TRIA) for which an insurance company infrastructure is a prerequisite Key Characteristics: challenging retail insurance coverages, limited capacity, differential in reinsurance costs, terms or conditions from commercial retail market, tends to be high excess large capacity covers. Terrorism (TRIA) Shipping coverage Title and private mortgage insurance Cyber-risk Reinsurance Professional and products liability Self-insured medical stoploss (non-erisa) Director and Officer liability Employment practices liability Product recall coverage Punitive damages coverage
22 Entrepreneurial Utilizations Participating in the profitability of insurance programs offered to 3 rd parties Opportunity to build new profit centers Opportunities to access further monetize commercial relationships Examples include: Franchisee insurance programs Consumer facing insurance programs sold in tandem with core products at point of sale Forced insurance products required of those in credit relationships Key Characteristics: profitable business, mutually enhances commercial relationship, portfolio size exceeds $3-5m. Entrepreneurial Package, workers comp, auto liab, personal insurances to franchisees Warranty / service contract programs to consumers Forced placed insurance programs to credit customers Credit life insurance to finance consumers Title and private mortgage insurance
