How are premiums developed in a Group Captive?

Premiums are developed based on an analysis of the applications historical data; premiums, losses, and exposures. Expected loss funds are determined and product and service costs are then applied. This removes the company from the hard and soft market shifts.

Why should I review a Group Captive Option?

Captive programs are not for every business. We are looking for those that could qualify based on premium size, exposure, financial stability, and management committed to safety.

Do I get money back?

Yes, you can. All loss funds dollars belong to the member and investment income accrues to the member of the funds. Any unused loss fund dollars plus investment income would be returned to the member.

Is this the same as self-insurance?

No. A group captive utilizes an independent actuary to calculate expected losses based on prior performances. The member pays a premium to cover their expected losses and the service and product costs. Part of their product costs include a specific reinsurance policy to help the group manage the expense of catastrophic losses.

Do I have to pay for other members' losses?

There is a possibility for members to assume losses of other members. Group Captive models are structured to ensure losses will be limited to each individual members’ percentage in the entire group

Is it difficult to leave a Group Captive?

No. There are no handcuff clauses. Each year stands on its own. Same one year commitment as the traditional market place.
