Chicago RIMS Educational Series: A Focus on Captive Strategies
Join Chicago RIMS for the next installment of our educational series, where we turn the spotlight on captive strategies — one of the most powerful and often underutilized tools in the risk management toolkit.
This exclusive session, presented by Spring Consulting Group and PNC Institutional Asset Management, goes beyond the basics. Our discussion will explore not only when a captive may be the right fit for your organization, but how its ongoing evolution can be measured, monitored, and communicated to both internal and external stakeholders.
Topics will include fronting arrangements, balance sheet considerations, reinsurance strategies, and the use of captives for property, casualty, and U.S./non-U.S. employee benefits programs. We'll also examine how a well-designed investment management framework — particularly one incorporating liability-aware investment strategies — can complement your captive's underwriting strategy, support long-term capital adequacy, and position the captive as a central component of your enterprise risk management and risk-financing strategy.
Designed specifically for risk managers and key risk decision-makers, this session is built for engagement — come ready to ask questions and walk away with actionable insights you can apply to your organization.
Following the discussion, stick around for a hosted networking happy hour — a great opportunity to continue the conversation with fellow risk professionals in a relaxed setting.
