GUIDELINES

FOR A CAPTIVE

 

 

A Risk Retention Group Insurance Company must be large enough to generate savings that are greater than its annual operating costs.  The rule of thumb is $1 million in annual premiums as the minimum size for an RRG formation, although exceptions do exist.

 

 

Companies that fall below the $1 million threshold may want to investigate a group captive, all rent-a-captives, or a Cell RRG alternative.

 

 

Either alternative will enable a company to have a premium based on its own loss experience and to keep the underwriting and investment income earned on the program.  Deciding which to choose depends on the company’s attitude toward sharing risk with others, its desire to have an ownership share, its cash position and its ability to make a long-term commitment to a program.
