Nevada’s Captive Insurance Program outperformed growth and speed expectations by approving 26 captives in 2014 resulting in a captive premium increase of $3.8 billion.

Insurance Commissioner Scott J. Kipper announced today that 2014 was once again a record breaking year for the Nevada captive insurance industry as Nevada’s captive premiums increased by $3.8 billion.

Nevada now has 160 domestic captive insurers, more than ever before in the history of Nevada’s captive insurance program. 

“As one of our nation’s oldest and largest captive domiciles, Nevada prides itself on its ability to maintain consistent and high regulatory standards, while also providing good service and a business friendly regulatory environment,” said Commissioner Kipper.

Nevada continues to offer a rapid yet thorough application approval process and pure captive application fees will continue to remain at just $1,050. Nevada also offers some of the best regulatory options for captive formations including series LLC’s and segregated cell captive programs. This fact combined with Nevada’s nation-leading program support, will continue to make Nevada one of the country’s largest and most popular captive insurance domiciles.

“We saw a lot of companies choose to take advantage of Nevada’s efficient application approval and series LLC legislation,” said Deputy Commissioner Michael Lynch.
“After another record breaking year, it is obvious that business owners worldwide consider Nevada to be a leader as a captive domicile.”
