If's Captive services

The leading Nordic provider of services to captives

With captive insurance companies playing a major role in the business strategy of many enterprises today, having an insurance partner that has an experienced and knowledgeable team of captive experts can make a significant difference.

At If, we take pride on our ability to provide our clients with the advice and services that are necessary to meet the future challenges facing the captive industry.

Focus on quick and accurate service

A captive company rarely employs all the needed functions to be fully self-managed. Most captives are reliant upon external service providers for several functions: local fronting insurance, claims handling, risk management services are typical functions where If offers solutions.

As one of the major service providers to captive companies in the Nordic area, If focus on delivering services to captives as quickly and accurately as possible.

At If, we are willing to discuss also other aspects related to captive insurance companies and the service needs.

If is the leading Nordic provider of insurance services to captives. We handle approx. 50 captive solutions in the Nordic Region and have over 30 years of experience. We deliver our tailor made services promptly and reliably. We do this by building a team around the captive's specific requirements consisting of the right competences and industry insight.

Support to captive clients

To ensure optimal and timely support for all captive clients and to facilitate improved knowledge management, we have established a Captive Competence Centre. From here our team of specialists maintain an overview of the latest trends, regulatory issues and developments, and ensure that we meet our clients' needs regarding services to their captive.

A business partner when restructuring captives

How can If support your captive?

If can support a captive owner who decides to discontinue their captive's operations by providing guidance towards an effortless way of discontinuing the captive's operations. This may be via a commutation process of the captive agreements between the captive company and If, either as the only insurer or as one of several fronting and servicing insurers to the captive. It may also be through a novation of the runoff portfolio to If P&C or another party.

Whether the decision is commutation or novation, If can provide legal support and assist in setting up the necessary agreements connected to a commutation or novation process. If may also, subject to an approved due diligence process, consider purchasing the run-off portfolio.
