Captive insurance companies, also known as captives, are insurance companies that are owned by the organizations they insure. Typically formed by organizations that wish to better manage the cost and administration of their insurance coverage, captives require ongoing administrative services. The use of captives continues to rise. According to a March 2011 report by “Business Insurance Magazine,” there were more than 5,600 captives worldwide in 2010, up from 5,525 in 2009.

 

Wilmington Trust provides these captive management services through offices in Delaware, Nevada, South Carolina, Vermont, and the Cayman Islands, which are among the most popular locations for captive insurance company operations. Wilmington Trust Captive Management Services is part of Wilmington Trust’s CCS business.
