What is a Captive Insurance Company?

In its basic form, a captive insurance company is typically an insurance company established and owned by one or more non-insurance organizations to underwrite the risk(s) of their owner(s). A captive can be owned by a single entity, by a number of unrelated companies from a particular industry (a homogeneous group captive), by a number of unrelated companies from different industries (a heterogeneous group captive) or by a trade or industry associations (an association captive) to insure the risks of the group owners or association.

Major Types of Captive Insurance Companies

Pure (Single-Parent)
A pure captive insures only the risks of its parent and its affiliates.

Group
Includes industrial groups, professional groups, associations and risk retention groups.

Protected Cell
Provides a non-owned captive facility for those who choose not to form their own captive; however, for a fee, can obtain many of the same benefits an owned-captive offers.

Agency
Agency-owned captives enable an agent(s) to share in the profits generated by their own business. The agent(s) control which business is placed in the captive, thereby enhancing the opportunity to generate significant profits.

Special Purpose
This type of captive offers those who do not fit any of the foregoing captives’ definitions with the opportunity to benefit from a captive structure. Not all domiciles permit this form of captive.
