Nevada’s Captive Domicile Growth Rises by $3.8B in Premium

The captive insurance program in Nevada outperformed growth and speed expectations by approving 26 captives in 2014, which resulted in a captive premium increase of $3.8 billion, Insurance Commissioner Scott J. Kipper announced in March.

He said 2014 was once again a record breaking year for Nevada’s captive insurance industry. The state now has 160 domestic captive insurers, the most in the history of its captive insurance program.

Nevada continues to offer a rapid application approval process and pure captive application fees will continue to remain at just $1,050, Kipper said.

Nevada has licensed more than 200 captives since the inception of its captive insurance program in 1999. Industries listed among Nevada’s captives include: Bio-tech; alternative energy; multi-national transportation; manufacturing; and financial.
