GILC Reports
GILC’s 2025 March 2026 Captives Report
Global Insurance Law Connect (GILC)’s March 2026 Captives Report is now available.
Partner Rob Coltman, comments: “Interest in captives is largely driven by rising premiums, placement challenges, market volatility, and a desire for greater control over risk management programmes. Global brokers active in New Zealand are increasingly providing captive advisory services to meet this demand.”
