About the event

Companies across the world are increasingly turning to captive solutions to replace their traditional insurance programmes. Evidence shows that insurance buyers across Europe are increasingly frustrated with rising premiums and slower claims service from the traditional market.

With every sign that this will continue for the foreseeable future, many are looking at the option of creating their own captive and becoming masters of their own programmes. This conference will consider these issues and also provide education and practical advice for those moving towards a captive option for the first time.

Drawing on the expertise of senior risk managers from across Europe, this three-day event will be packed with practical sessions, exploring both the risks and the opportunities ahead. It will also provide an opportunity for those who already have a captive to learn more about maximising their programmes.

This event is free to attend.

Roundtable: Captive management

Having made a decision to launch a captive, one of the key questions will be whether to manage yourself or outsource it to a captive manager? This session will discuss the costs and benefits; how to choose a captive manager and whether to go local or go global.

Presentation and panel discussion: The world of work

From working at home to working in a high Covid-19 risk environment, everyone across Europe has been adapting to a new working environment. Many of the challenges and opportunities to emerge have centred on employee health, well-being and protection. Employee benefits are a key component of any corporate insurance programme so this session takes a look at how employee benefits can be managed within a captive structure. Speakers will focus on Medical and Mental Health risk management as one EB line of risk in a captive program.

We will show you how a leading provider of mental health risk management software can help companies to align with the new international health and safety guidelines (ISO45003), to be released this summer. Also how employers can identify psychological hazards across their global workforces and build strategies to reduce risks, focus on building positive mental health and boost practice among their employees. How a captive can support, you will hear from our experts Andrea, Charlotte and Jason.

Panel discussion: Making claims

Claims are always the sharp end of any insurance programme. The question is how can you best use your captive to maximise the effectiveness of the claims handling. This session will include suggestions and advice on how to structure a captive to make the claims operation run as smoothly as possible.

Presentation and panel discussion: Reinsurance
How does a captive offer me improved access to reinsurance capacity? What can the reinsurance market offer me that the commercial insurance market cannot?

Presentation and panel discussion: Emerging risks

The standard insurance market has restricted capacity on offer for tricky risks such as cyber. How can I confidently include such a risk in my captive to ‘incubate’ it and what alternative solutions are on offer from the capital markets to support such a strategy?
