This comprehensive book breaks down the complex topic of captives, revealing the types of risk that can be handled by captives, why captives can be effective as a risk management tool, tax and accounting considerations, how to determine if a captive is feasible, how to choose a domicile, and how to manage and operate a captive. Captives and the Management of Risk is divided into 13 chapters, each one designed to answer a Captive Frequently Asked Question, or "CAPFAQ!" This book is authored by Kathryn Westover, President of Captive Advisory Services, who has worked with risk funding programs for over 15 years.

Captive Insurance Company Reports
Written by the consultants at Towers Perrin, Captive Insurance Company Reports (CICR) is the first and most well-known periodical to focus on the alternative market. CICR covers reinsurance, tax, and regulatory developments in the captive industry. Each month it provides comprehensive reports and comparisons of new and existing captive domiciles. It also addresses reinsurance and fronting conditions and their effects on captives. Subscribers will also receive summaries of the proceedings from many conferences, assessments of the latest tax legislation, and the holdings of recent court cases. CICR's annual review issue, "Captive Scene Today," provides a definitive summary of the growth and the latest trends in this sector of the market. Subscribers to the electronic versions of CICR are provided a fully searchable archive of all issues published since August 1998 The July 2010 issue of CICR contains the following topics of interest: The July issue of the Captive
Insurance Company Reports leads with "Security Analysis
Made Easier and Better." After detailing the problems insolvency
of a fronting insurer can have on captives, we then discuss how and why
rating agencies differ. The crux of the article then presents a tool that
we think is a better way to monitor insurer security---the Market Security
Observer offered by Dempsey Partners. We show what the tool does, especially
in its monitoring of the three main rating services on selected insurers,
plus the several other financial measures they track---all useful tools
for captive owners to easily monitor their insurers and offering fodder
for questions they can ask of their outsourced analysts. A sidebar discussing
the dilemma the various rating agencies have in making ratings changes
written by John Dempsey is well worth the read. The July edition of the Captive Insurance Company Reports also includes a supplemental insert that provides Delaware's official response to our June article, "Delaware: Bombshell for Captives?" It also provides additional CICR comments, that clarify our position on the subject. Kick the tires before you buy! To see a sample CICR, View The February 2010 issue in Adobe Acrobat (pdf). The lead story in this issue is entitled 2010 Prognostications on Captives. Also found in this issue is a recap of the highlights of the November 2009 World Captive Forum. This is an excellent sample issue that we think you will enjoy!
