Multinational Captive Fronting Capabilities Brochure

What is a “Fronting” Arrangement with a “Captive” Insurer?

A captive insurer is an insurance company that’s owned and controlled by those it insures (“captive members”). This covers the owners’ risks while allowing captives to benefit from the profits of underwriting. Because they’re working outside of a traditionally regulated commercial insurance marketplace, captives are collectively agreeing to put their own capital at risk.

A traditional insurance company (the “fronting company”) enters into a contract with the captive insurer to issue the policies to the captive members, thereby allowing the captive insurer to comply with local laws. Instead of the fronting company taking on risk, they typically take a percentage of premiums in exchange for service.

The scenarios described herein are offered only as examples. Coverage depends on the actual facts of each case and the terms, conditions and exclusions of each individual policy. Anyone interested in the above product(s) should request a copy of the standard form of policy for a description of the scope and limitations of coverage.
