RISK RETENTION GROUPS


THE ESSENTIALS


Q. What is a Risk Retention Group?

A Risk Retention Group is a corporate or limited liability association which is a state chartered and licensed, group- owned (captive) insurance company.  Whatever “insurance” is provided is group self-insurance.

Q. What insurance licensing and regulatory requirements must a Risk Retention Group observe?

Depending on the requirements of the state in which a Risk Retention Group chooses to call “home”, it must to some extent:

● Meet the capital and surplus requirements for the types of insurance involved.

● Have managers and officers that are not incompetent.

● Pay licensing fees and post bonds as may be required.

● Maintain minimum premium and loss reserves.

● Comply with that state’s policy forms and rate practices.

● Participate in joint underwriting associations along with other insurers licensed in the same state.

● Submit regular financial reports, submit to examinations and comply with lawful orders.

● Pay the same premium and other kinds of taxes imposed on other insurers similarly licensed in the state.
