Why do I need to know about captives?

Captives are being formed at a faster rate than ever before and becoming increasingly sophisticate risk financing vehicles. More countries and regulators are paying attention and embracing their value.

In the United Kingdom, the Government is committed to introducing a new captive regulatory regime ensuring the continued mainstreaming of captive strategies. As a growing and wide-ranging number of insurance buyers enquire about captives, it is essential brokers, underwriters, consultants and other business partners are aware of their role and how it works so they don’t get left behind.

Is Essentials the right starting point?

While Captive Essentials is designed to introduce the core concepts of captive insurance, professionals with existing knowledge may benefit from Captive Advanced.

Our more interactive and advanced training offers deeper technical content, strategic insight, and expert led learning tailored to those ready to move beyond the basics.
