Structured as either a direct writing company or a reinsurance company, captives have become
an integral part of many organisations' plans to manage their risk effectively. Traditionally
established to retain low severity, high frequency liability and property coverages, they now
often include more difficult-to-insure exposures such as credit and environmental risks.

Many organisations do not have the size or desire to warrant establishing a captive but wish to
enjoy the benefits of risk-sharing. In this case, we can use a deductible programme where
policies are written from first dollar and claims recovered from the client periodically.
This allows for risk transfer only of catastrophic exposures, whilst ensuring that any locally
admitted policies deal with all claims.

This approach allows clients to benefit from risk-sharing where an historic experience may not
be reflective of the future. The retro programme is a formula for recovery of claims on a
retrospective basis, usually with a minimum and maximum and an expense cost built in. The
premium charged is reflective only of catastrophe risk and the retro rating allows the client
to benefit from an improving loss trend.

Like deductible programmes, these programmes additionally give greater flexibility to clients
by devolving responsibility for the self-insured retention to the client. This is particularly
useful where the client may have complex or sensitive commercial relationships and wishes to
handle claims themselves.

Prevent potential gaps in cover by bringing together a number of coverages into one contract.
The multi-year structure provides some measure of certainty and stability. Other benefits
include limit blending and unbundling of servicing cost from risk transfer cost.

Chubb has established its own protected cell company, Foundation Reinsurance (PCC) Ltd, for our
clients to retain traditional insurance risks and to finance difficult-to-insure exposures.
Foundation Re provides 'rent a captive' services, risk financing programmes, captive
reinsurance and loss portfolio transfers.
