Industry and regulators face off over captives’ proportionality exception

Industry and regulators face off over captives’ proportionality exception

european-commission

Insurers are pressing for a widening of Solvency II's proportionality principle for captive insurers to allow all such businesses to use a streamlined version of the directive. Under the current text, captive insurers - off-balance sheet insurance vehicles designed to ring-fence particular risks - are allowed to do so provided they do not have liabilities in mandatory businesses, such as motor insurance.
