Private Equity

A portfolio of companies means a portfolio of risk, often duplicated across every holding.


Why private equity businesses form captives

A private equity firm's portfolio companies often duplicate the same categories of risk, directors and officers, cyber, representations and warranties exposure, across every holding. A captive can aggregate that risk at the fund level instead of pricing it separately at each portfolio company.

Risk categories a captive can fund

Every captive is built around the risk a specific business actually carries, not a generic policy.

  • Portfolio wide risk aggregation

    One program built around a fund's actual holdings instead of ten separate ones.

  • Directors and officers

    Coverage extended consistently across every portfolio company's board.

  • Cyber across the portfolio

    A single view of data risk spanning every holding.
