On May 23, the Japan Captive Association held a seminar in a panel discussion format on the theme of “The Reinsurance Market and the Use of Captives.”
As the event took place shortly after the reinsurance renewals, at a time when it is said that conditions for corporate insurance are becoming stricter, panelists from different positions—ceding insurers, reinsurers, and brokers—were invited to speak. The discussion was moderated by Naoyoshi Araki (Representative Director of Japan Risk Specialist Ltd., Principal Officer of Green Oak PCC Ltd. and Director of the Japan Captive Association), who gathered their perspectives.
Japan’s insurance market has experienced several turning points in the past, and the present can also be regarded as a significant one. Looking back at the reinsurance renewals, the discussion provided insights on the stance companies should take and conveyed that the use of captives can be an effective measure.
