The Forum will draw risk managers and current and prospective captive owners and will focus on captive strategies. Other focuses will include reasons to set up a captive insurer, the nuts and bolts of how to establish a captive entity, and why Bermuda is the sensible domicile choice for captives.
Gavin will be providing a comprehensive overview of applicable legislation and steps to incorporate and license a captive. He will explore how Bermuda’s captive insurance market is the global leader and one of the world’s largest hubs for commercial re/insurance companies, making it a unique one-stop shop.
