It’s been 50 years since Marsh opened its first captive office in Bermuda. As we celebrate that milestone in 2018, Marsh Captive Solutions does so with one eye on the significant developments and trends of the past 50 years, and one eye looking ahead to captives’ continued growth and strategic development. We’re proud of the role we’ve played in the captive industry’s amazing change as it has grown from about 100 captives in 1968 to nearly 6,700 today. And we’re excited about the future.
We invite you to download a copy of the report or interact with our selected charts below where you can explore some of the data from this year’s 2018 Captive Landscape report.
CAPTIVES BY INDUSTRY
Financial institutions continue to lead the way in both number of captives and premium volume. However, the increasing complexity of risk, emerging risks, and an uptick in mergers and acquisitions have led other industries to adopt or expand the use of captives.
