Captive Insight Vol I | Page 52

CAPTIVEINSIGHT “There’s no doubt that the collective benefits enjoyed by members, including long-term cost stability, greater control over insurance costs, profit sharing and an overall, safer company, are a driving motivation underlying continued membership.” Once brokers fully understand how the captive operates, it becomes clear to them that not only will they retain their client relationships but that those relationships are stronger. Bringing the captive option to the client and then facilitating its entry, often results in the broker being viewed by its client as more a risk management advisor, than an insurance broker. In addition, members often refer other companies to their broker for membership consideration, which offers the broker opportunities for increased revenue. As for the new captive member, after being guided by its broker through the entire process of moving from traditional insured to captive owner, it comes to understand how it will rely on its broker in much the same way as it ever did. There’s no doubt that the collective benefits enjoyed by members, including long-term cost stability, greater control over insurance costs, profit sharing and an overall, safer company, are a driving motivation underlying continued membership. However, perhaps it is the shared vision of achievement of these goals and that commonality of purpose that is the “glue” that binds different member companies together to function as a cohesive group – and finding common ground on how best to address challenges is a testament to their commitment to the captive.
