Navigating Challenges in a Complex (Re)Insurance Landscape

The preparation of accounts under IFRS 17, shifting consumer trends, climate-related risks, the gig economy, AI, robotics, and automation are just a few of these challenges. Staying abreast of these changes is crucial to a (re)insurance company’s success, with early planning and preparedness being key.

Our captive offering

Captives

Bermuda has long been recognised as the world’s leading jurisdiction for captives, with the first captive insurer established on the island in 1962.

Bermuda’s risk-based regulatory model makes it an attractive domicile for all types of captives, from single-parent and group captives to special purpose financial captives.

As companies increasingly turn to captives to address emerging issues in the insurance industry—such as ESG, cyber risks, and insurtech—Grant Thornton’s solutions-driven team of captive professionals is ready to advise and support you. We offer a comprehensive range of captive services, from audit and assurance to capital adequacy and efficiency assessments, ensuring the optimisation and success of your captive.
