Webinar: Runoff Claims Liability: Financial Closure Mechanisms for Captives and RRGs
This webinar covered the claims liability related to the activities of a captive and how they can be closed in a variety of ways. A captive owner does not have to settle claims, continue to deny or pay them year after year. They are no longer faced with the singular options of having to close their captive or consider selling it. Losses and the management of runoff claims can be assumed to be extremely qualified carriers through a variety of transfer processes.
