Alternative Risk Financing Facilities
Provide mainstream coverage to their members that include corporations, public entities, and professionals. These facilities were originally established and capitalized by organizations and individuals with common requirements for insurance who could not obtain coverage on the commercial markets; could not obtain coverage at an acceptable price; could not effectively act as a captive insurance company; or could not act as a self-insurer. Coverages written include property insurance, workers COMPENSATION INSURANCE, DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS LIABILITY INSURANCE, medical malpractice liability insurance, and primary and excess liability insurance. Insureds include a broad range of organizations and individuals: medical personnel, banks, manufacturers, public entities, nonprofit entities, contractors, and transportation companies and systems. The major portion of the facilities is domiciled in Bermuda.
