Portfolio Risk Management Services

We can serve as the outsourced risk manager to assist in selecting and corresponding with brokers; manage incidents and claims reporting, including carrier notification; manage purchasing and renewal of the insurance programs (whether master policies or individual policies at the portfolio company level); and analyze the historical experience and recommend changes to the program.

Risk Retention Advisory

We provide advice regarding alternative methods for risk transfer – whether primary or reinsurance – using traditional carriers, self-funding through a captive, or a self-insured retention plan. We can also assist with structuring self-insured retention plans.
