April 2021 Edition
Happy Easter and Happy Passover!!

As we head through April, now is an excellent time to be thinking about the advantages of a Captive for you or your client's company. As I talk to future clients (business owners, P&C companies & CPAs) worldwide, many have no idea about this risk management tool, which has been at their disposal for a long time.

So, What Are the Advantages of a Captive?
Captives are a cost-effective risk management tool, which allows business owners the following advantages:
  • Reduction and Control of Insurance Costs
  • Provided Supplemental Insurance Coverage
  • Coverage for "Excludable Items"
  • Customized Coverage- Industry Specific.
  • & More...

Captive Claim Highlight
Client Profile
Industry: Banking
Specialty: Investment Management Firm
Location: Connecticut
Claim Information
Description: One of our Insureds was issued an Information Document Request (IDR) from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for one of their benefit practices. Through their Captive's Actual Net Loss Insurance Policy "Administrative Actions" coverage, the Insured was able to recoup “extra expenses” associated with this document request.
Line of Coverage: Administrative Actions
This exposure was elected for coverage by the client under their Captive Policy. This resulted in a claim payment amount of approximately $5,000.
*Please note that each claim will undergo an independent investigation and thorough review process. Various components specific to the claim at hand will be assessed thoroughly to determine if the loss is covered by the policy.
