The State of the State: Connecticut’s Evolving Captive Marketplace

So what’s the Connecticut advantage?

Disrupting the Market: The InsurTech Captive Revolution

Captive owners are already experts in stripping the insurance transaction of all unnecessary expense.
When we talk about “market disruption,” captives have been on the forefront of that for thirty years.
However, when it comes to the innovative ways to change even more about the way insurance products and services are delivered...namely, the InsurTech Revolution...captives are expected to be on the forefront of this innovation, revolution, and change.
This is a good time to register for the Connecticut Captive Insurance Association 2017 Collaborative on Captive Insurance, because the Collaborative will be an interactive and open forum on this subject, and attendees will get cutting edge information about:
What is InsurTech?  How does it work?  How is it expected to change the future?  
What can captives learn from commercial insurance market innovation and investment initiatives?  
What will the captive insurance transaction of the future look like, and how will captive owners meet the internal challenges of managing risk in a world dominated by "virtual insurance"?

Cyber Liability in Captives: Why Worry?

At the end of 2016, the cyber security insurance marketplace had underwritten $1.3 billion of direct written premiums. We all recognize that the world is an increasingly dangerous place...no debate there...but at the end of 2016, a different kind of debate had already begun.
People began asking the obvious question: “Can I write cyber security coverage through my captive, and, if so, how?”
This is a good time to register for the Connecticut Captive Insurance Association's 2017 Collaborative on Captive Insurance because the Collaborative will be an interactive and open forum on this subject, and attendees will get cutting edge information about: 
The current cyber security marketplace, how it functions, and what the underwriting challenges are  
Expert perspective on the growing and challenging international cyber threat  
Whether this is a good time for captives to augment available capacity in a marketplace already challenged to meet demand

Redefining Workers’ Compensation in Captives

At this year's Connecticut Captive Insurance Association's 2017 Collaborative on Captive Insurance, you'll have an opportunity to engage with insurance professionals and regulators on the challenging idea of workers' compensation in captives.  
This will be about a lot more than running your deductible reimbursement program through a captive...or the captive reinsurance of fronted workers’ compensation programs.
This is a good time to register for the CCIA 2017 Collaborative on Captive Insurance, because the Collaborative will be an interactive and open forum on this subject, and attendees will get cutting edge information about:
Whether captives should be permitted to write statutory benefit coverage in a non-admitted environment
The ideal partnership between captives and the commercial workers' compensation underwriting community
Ideas about how to get it right when it comes to the integration of on or off the job disability

The Small Business Captive Revolution

It seems these days that the news just keeps getting worse about 831(b) captives.
We at the Connecticut Captive Insurance Association think it’s time to re-evaluate how these captives, originally designed perfectly for small business use, can be re-engineered and implemented to serve the real purpose of risk transfer.
This is a good time to register for the CCIA 2017 Collaborative on Captive Insurance, because the Collaborative will be an interactive and open forum on this subject, and attendees will get cutting edge information about:

- How to form these captives to accomplish the real purpose of risk transfer

- What regulators will look for in Small Business Captive applications and business plans

- How Small Business Captives can be used to improve the functioning of your insurance portfolio and allow you to assume risk in a controlled and affordable way
