Podcast Examines How Captives Weather Insurance Market Cycles

The latest IRMI Podcast on the International Risk Management Institute's (IRMI) and Captive.com's Captive Podcasts page features Matthew Queen, owner of The Queen Firm, LLC, discussing how to use captive insurance to manage insurance market cycles.

Mr. Queen is the author of Modern Captive Insurance. The Queen Firm is a law firm providing captive insurance consulting services.

In this 29-minute podcast episode, Mr. Queen shares his deep experience on how captive insurance companies can function as a risk management tool and why captive insurance might not be right for everyone.

In the podcast, Mr. Queen discusses the fact that while captive insurance companies are often formed to solve specific insurance market problems—frequently during hard markets—the trick is for the organization to view the captive as a long-term risk-financing tool that's meant to provide insurance pricing stability and add value over time across both hard and soft markets.
