With an aggregate experience of over forty years, AMS' captive management team is drawn from complimentary backgrounds of underwriting, insurance broking, captive management, risk management and finance. Our dedicated team of four is the largest captive team in the British Virgin Islands.

Our captive experience is not limited to the BVI. Team members have worked in other domiciles including Bermuda, working with blue-chip clients and have developed a global understanding of the captive market. We boast the only fully qualified Chartered Insurer and risk manager among the BVI captive managers.

AMS provides all captive formation and management services and targets the larger more complex accounts requiring added value services rather than pure compliance. We conduct feasibility and program-design assignments and arrange fronting and reinsurance. We have the in-house capability to design innovative insurance programs and draft manuscript wordings for unique risks.

We are an independent specialist captive manager applying an autonomous experience-driven and plain English approach to captives. Since our team is drawn from complimentary yet highly relevant disciplines that contribute to captive management, we develop strong personal relationships with clients with no need for distant parent group resources or time consuming referral.

Visit us at www.amsbvi.com for comprehensive details of our services, downloads of articles, a copy of the Insurance Act, 1994 and other useful guidance.
