Description

 

Fronting and reinsurance remain key challenges for captive owners, even in a soft market with abundant capital. Securing the right partners and negotiating workable terms can be complex, particularly for difficult-to-place lines of coverage.

This session brings together two industry veterans for a candid discussion from the front lines of the captive marketplace. Speakers will examine who is fronting and reinsuring captives, which coverage lines present the toughest challenges, and why available capital does not always translate into an easy placement. The discussion will explore practical considerations for approaching providers, navigating negotiations, and positioning captive programs to thrive in 2027.

Following this session, attendees will be able to identify potential fronting and reinsurance partners, recognize coverage areas that may require a more targeted approach, and better prepare for negotiations that support their captive’s risk financing objectives.
