Captivating Business - Canadian Underwriter

Shrinking capacity arising from hard market conditions in many commercial lines has created a favourable environment for self-insuring through captives.

The captive option has come to the fore in the current commercial hard market conditions in Canada. Canadian Underwriter hosted a free webinar on Nov. 16 entitled Captivating Business to discuss the trends favouring captives, the benefits of transferring risk through captives, and some common factors in the successful creation of captive insurers.

The expert panel included Patrick Ferguson, captive sales executive and senior vice president at Marsh’s Captives Solutions Group; Alonso Tello, vice president of captives and alternative risk at AXA XL Canada; and Braedy Walker, assistant vice president of captives and analytics at HUB International Canada.
