Our apologies for a link error to the newly-posted Insurance & Private Pension Law Update, Issue 12 written by J.M. Ganado & Associates. The link to the publication is now operational from Newsletters page in the captive.com News/Library. The lead article for this issue is entitled New European Captive Association Seeks Special Captive Status Under Solvency II. The article updates us on a new European captive association called ECIROA -- European Captive Insurance and Reinsurance Owners` Association, open to all European companies that own a captive.

To ensure that you can easily find all associations that might be helpful to you, we have placed a link to ECIROA on the Captive Associations page, available from our main menu on all pages. See the ECIROA "Documents" page to download a pdf entitled, "Position Paper on Treatment of Captives in Solvency II." Great stuff!

The October issue of the Captive Insurance Company Reports features two fascinating captive case studies. The issue also covers the 2008 VCIA Conference, and wraps up with an article on benchmarking captives, drawn from the recent Luxembourg Rendez-vous.

For more information on these articles, and to read a sample issue of CICR, visit the IRMI NewsRack or our Captive Headlines page. You can subscribe to this indispensable newsletter as well as several other IRMI publications right from the captive.com secure server.
