Captive insurance companies are among the smallest insurance companies regulated under Solvency II, the European insurance supervision regime since 2016. The webinar will present the unique features of a captive insurance company and what makes it an undisputed part of the risk manager toolbox.

Active risk managers from Sweden and Luxembourg will discuss with a representative of the European Insurance Authority (EIOPA) the regulatory needs in terms of proportionality for the European captive insurance community. This will be the opportunity for EIOPA to present the future development of the Solvency II revision which will conclude in 2020.

As mentioned by EIOPA Chairman Gabriel Bernardino in his keynote at the last EIOPA conference in November 2018, “proportionality will be a key word in the 2020 evaluation”, adding specifically that certain types of captives could be a concrete case to increase proportionality and reduce burden. This is of course of high interest for our risk management community, supported by the recent inclusion of the supervisory of captives as a new priority in the EIOPA supervisor convergence plan for 2019.
