September 2010 Captive Insurance Company Reports (CICR) Highlights

CICR Subscribers: Click directly to this issue in IRMI Online or Sage/ReferenceConnect. If you don’t currently subscribe, order CICR direct from IRMI on captive.com's secure server! Following are the highlights of this month’s CICR.

The September issue of Captive Insurance Company Reports leads with "RRGs: Reinsurance Usage and Profitability," (on IRMI or Sage) written by Carol Pierce of Munich Reinsurance. She presents numerous graphs and statistics illustrating the profitability of risk retention groups for commercial reinsurers. Captive practitioners will learn how much RRGs use reinsurance and how profitable it is for reinsurers.

"Captives' Real Hot Topics" (on IRMI or Sage) -- a dialogue between Callum Beaton and Hugh Rosenbaum — drills down on various captive topics: the increased regulatory burden, the challenges facing independent boards, the resulting costs to comply with increased oversight and regulation, and the real driving force behind many captives.

Finally, IRMI introduces its new claims operations book, a roadmap for standard and alternative market commercial claims facilities, and third-party administrators (on IRMI or Sage).

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!
