As the insurance market continues to firm and policy terms and conditions are constricting on corporate liability programs, more and more Risk Managers are strongly considering βfronted policyβ structures.
What is fronting? Fronting may be defined as the provision of insurance by a licensed, admitted insurance company to an insured entity without the actual transfer of insured risk. The ultimate risk of loss is retained by the insured via a deductible and indemnity agreement or other similar agreement or transferred to a captive insurer via a reinsurance agreement.
So⦠when may a fronted program make sense? What are some of the benefits and major considerations that should be contemplated?
