About This Briefing

The recent hard market and cautious reinsurance environment have allowed rated captives and other alternative risk transfer (ART) entities to demonstrate their explicit and implicit value to their owners and members, offering significant capacity at appropriate risk-adjusted prices.

Please join AM Best senior analytical staff and a panel of insurance experts for a conversation about the increasing permeation of the rated single-parent captive and commercial market alternative segment across the overall insurance industry spectrum.

Topics will include:

  • The rationale for and feasibility of forming ART entities
  • Benefits afforded to ART owners and members
  • Flexibility in managing ART enterprise risks appropriately
  • AM Best’s review of ongoing segment performance trends
