Insurance and risk transfer solutions for captives
Munich Re offers comprehensive risk protection and other customized solutions for your captive.
Comprehensive risk protection and customised solutions for captives
Captives stand out as an intelligent option for risk management. Offering insurance and risk transfer solutions, they remain a valuable mainstay for addressing self-insured interests.
Munich Re is committed to helping captives take advantage of every opportunity as well as tackle every challenge along the whole value chain. In the face of emerging risks, we support captives to adjust and grow. We ensure future success by expertly managing recent compliance regulations as well as new risk models like cyber and reputation. By meeting the needs of diversification, we offer an efficient way to steer a captive that focuses on profitability. By understanding the further challenge of remaining relevant for its group, we also provide captives with the solutions needed to meet this goal.
Your challenges, our solutions
P&C solutions: Ensuring captive growth
In the highly dynamic industries of today, optimal captive insurance solutions require the right partnership. From regulatory changes to emerging risks, Munich Re has the expertise of long-term partnerships with single-parent captives. Additionally, with over 50 dedicated NatCat
experts on hand as well as access to our NatCatService analytic global database, we maintain in-depth know-how regarding property risks from natural disasters. This ensures that we offer tailored solutions along the whole value chain with the capacity to back it up.
- Property (including NatCat stand-alone)
- Energy (Oil & Gas and Mining – open Pit / Underground)
- Liability (e.g. product liability, recall and environmental liability)
- Financial lines (e.g. D&O, E&O, professional indemnity, crime)
- Complex aggregate XLs and multi-line/multiyear solutions
- Engineering (e.g. construction and operational power)
- Access to dedicated experts in areas such as Marine, Fleet Motor business, employee benefits and more
Emerging risks: Let’s create strategic value through individual risk transfer
Risk landscapes are becoming more and more complex and dynamic. Also, business resilience and your future depend more on intangibles and third parties than your own physical assets. Such dependencies and their inherent risks need to be identified, assessed and clearly addressed by adequate risk management measures. Based on close collaboration with you and backed by Munich Re’s expertise and data, we can help you to effectively transfer such individual risks.
We bring to the table:
- Access to emerging risk think tank with support from over 20 specialists
- Internal and external quantitative monitoring of individual risks in industry-specific ecosystems
- Intelligence database to identify and verify the causal chains of emerging risks
- Expertise in the language of regulation and compliance (incl. GDPR, US data-breach notifications, PDPA, etc.)
Parametric triggers: Swift acting cover when you really need it
When disaster strikes, you need a cover for your captive that acts immediately. Our OneCat concept offers a payout process based on parametric triggers. It delivers when organisations need their insurance claims to be settled quickly and transparently in order to avoid cash flow problems.
OneCat provides comprehensive response to natural catastrophes with two specialised covers:
- OneStorm, a comprehensive and rapid response to tropical cyclones, hurricanes and typhoons
- OneQuake, parametric trigger cover specifically designed for seismic events
Capital Partners: Like time, capital is a valuable resource.
Many businesses are unaware of how much their reinsurer can do for them. We go beyond traditional reinsurance. We meet solvency requirements head-on, by offering alternative risk transfer solutions that increase your captive’s ability to improve capital management, earnings smoothing, and capital strengthening. Working closely with our clients, we deliver results that are highly flexible and include turnkey packages that optimise capital management. We offer an ever-expanding array of collaborative solutions and covers.
- Redeployment of risk-bearing capital from dormant run-off portfolios
- Regulatory and event-driven solutions
- KPI optimisation by enhancing retention and structures as well as gaining business plan protection in distressed situations
- Retrospective covers, Complex Aggregate XLs and multi-year solutions
In addition, together with our ALM experts, we provide an ALM consulting service based on Munich Re’s own liability driven investment process. This helps clients use their risk capital in the most efficient way by optimising their asset allocation based on and in line with their liabilities.
