Move from risk transfer to risk ownership

Captives have evolved from risk transfer vehicles into strategic instruments of corporate risk financing. They allow you to integrate risk management and capital allocation, access reinsurance markets directly, and manage volatility across time and lines of business.

We support captives across their full lifecycle, from fronting and protection to legacy and restructuring, backed by Swiss Re’s financial strength and Alternative Risk Transfer expertise.

Our offering Captive solutions across the lifecycle

Fronting

Structured fronting solutions enable compliant local policy issuance while maintaining central programme control. Options include pure fronting, indemnified insurance and fronting combined with risk transfer across jurisdictions.

Captive protection

Reinsurance structures designed to manage volatility and protect capital. Solutions include monoline and multiline stop loss, term aggregates, step-up retention programmes and parametric cover.

Legacy and restructuring

Structured solutions for legacy portfolios, including Loss Portfolio Transfers (LPT), Adverse Development Covers (ADC), novations and regulatory-approved transfers. Designed to reduce reserving volatility and improve capital efficiency.

Services and analytics

Risk data, portfolio analytics, modelling expertise and training that improve transparency, governance and capital decision-making across the captive programme.
