Product Description
Product Description
A captive insurance company is, in a nutshell, an insurance company formed by a business owner to insure the risks of the operating business. The operating business pays premiums to the captive, and the captive insures the risks of the operating business. A captive is much more than an exotic form of self-insurance: It is the creation of a new insurance company that has the potential to grow from being a mere captive into a full-blown insurance company seeking to profit from underwriting the risks of others. Adkisson's Captive Insurance Companies provides a basic introduction to captives and their benefits, including: utilize your own experience ratings; recapture underwriting profits; underwrite exposed risks and deductibles; access the reinsurance markets; and transfer wealth between generations. This book also provides a unique look at the wealth transfer, accumulation and preservation advantages of captives, as well as an overview of the types of captives, taxation of captives, and captive domiciles.

An excellent starting point
9 Mar 2007
Format:Paperback
Jay Adkisson's book on captive insurance companies is a good starting point for anyone who wants an overview of an often overlooked or misunderstood subject. The book is a little heavy on statutes and some case law, but otherwise gives an excellent introduction to the benefits and risks of establishing and maintaining these structures.

Great Intro to Captives
18 Dec 2006
Format:Paperback
As an advisor, I've had clients repeatedly ask me about captive insurance companies but I didn't know much more about them and simply referred them to people like Jay who dealt with them. They always seemed like a "black box" planning technique where the secrets of how they worked were hidden from the unitiated. With this book, Jay opens that box and gives a great explanation of what captive insurance companies are, how they work, what it takes to get them licensed, how they are taxed, what policies they can issue, where they can be formed, and a bunch of other stuff that helps advisors like me understand the basic concept. I think this would be a great book to give as a gift to clients who were interested in captives as it explains their benefits -- and limitations -- quite clearly.

Captive Review
24 May 2010
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Despite its size, this book by Adkisson is really a pamplet devoted to the very basics of captive insurance companies. About 3/4 of the book is filled with appendixes related to key court cases related to IRS taxation, which unfortunately are not adequately discussed by the author in the text. One positive is the long list of policies the captive can write to cover innumerable business liabilities. The author's opinion is strung throught the book without successful examples of innovative risk retention solutions, and in summary anyone interested in captive formation should basically contact the author directly to get "expert help" since so few people really know how to do it. Actually, P.A. Baucutt's book and the recent one by Westover are a better combination of old and new to get your feet on the ground.
