Captive Domicile Summary

Missouri enacted its captive law in 2007 to support the business community looking for solutions to manage their traditional risk and beyond. This philosophy continues to be the centerpiece of the Missouri Captive Insurance Program today as we look for ways to support a global industry with innovative ideas that encourage growth while also protecting success. This vision is achieved by developing a strong internal and external team.

The Missouri Captive Insurance Program maintains a group of experienced professionals who understand the state captive laws, work diligently to regulate without over-regulating, and encourage continuous captive growth. This regulatory balance is why Missouri is the place where captives grow strong. The program also works with external stakeholders to ensure we are reacting to the changing captive market in a timely manner.

Our external partners include the Missouri Captive Insurance Association and the three RIMS chapters in the state. Together, we work to promote the captive industry in the legislature and provide educational support to the risk manager community. This collaboration is currently developing the Mid Rivers Risk Forum, which will be held in St. Louis on September 28–30, 2025.

The Missouri Captive Insurance Association teams up every year with the Nevada, Oklahoma, and Utah captive associations to host the Western Region Captive Insurance Conference (WRCIC). The 2025 conference will be held May 19–21 at the Salt Lake Marriott Dowtown at City Creek in Salt Lake City, Utah.
