About
2020 has seen risk management being stretched to its limits with the global outbreak of COVID-19, against the backdrop of an even harder, more expensive reinsurance landscape. Now, more than ever, companies need a way to mitigate corporate risks efficiently and effectively, and this is where the concept of self-insurance is proving its worth. In Asia, the concept of self-insurance vehicles such as captives and protected cell companies is relatively new, although it has long been established globally. Globally there are over 7,000 captive insurance companies worldwide currently, and a surge in the number of protected cell companies in recent years. Come join us to discover the features and benefits of these structures from our subject matter experts, who will provide an overview and share case studies, highlighting the advantages of self-insurance for Japanese entities including digital start-ups and fintech players.
