DC Captive Domicile Information
The Captive Insurance Company Act of 2004 provides significant new opportunities for large organizations to insure themselves instead of seeking insurance on the commercial market. A captive insurance company, or captive, is an insurance company owned by members of a common industry or trade association in order to share the risks of that industry among its members.
Why form a captive?
Captives allow associations, organizations and groups to take financial control and manage risks by underwriting their own insurance rather than paying premiums to third-party insurers. The potential advantages of such self-insurance include lower costs, protection better tailored to the organization's needs, more control over risks, and tighter control over financial resources.
The Act became effective on an emergency basis in November, 2004 and the permanent Act became effective on March 17, 2005
