What We Do
Strategic Risk Solutions is a leading independent insurance management firm with representation in all major onshore and offshore domiciles. It provides financial reporting, regulatory compliance and underwriting management services to existing and prospective captive insurance companies. SRS was ranked the 4th largest captive manager worldwide and the largest independent by Business Insurance at December 31, 2020.
For many people, captive management is treated as a routine task of keeping the books and records of a captive. The industry has been plagued by mediocre service, high staff turnover and low customer satisfaction. At SRS, we believe that isn’t good enough.
Captive Management Plus reflects our commitment to be the premier provider of management and consulting services to the captive insurance industry. What do we mean by Plus? The Plus is both the quality rating of our core captive management services and the value added consulting services we provide in support of captive management. We achieve the Plus by:
--Delivering outstanding service;
--Strictly adhering to best-in-class internal controls and regular evaluations of these through Statement on Standards for Attestation Engagements No. 18 audits;
--Helping Clients succeed, particularly through our reputation for innovation; and
--Providing a depth of expertise by hiring the best in the business, keeping a laser focus on captives, as well as utilizing team structures and a "one firm" approach to servicing Clients.
This model has been validated by Client feedback from our annual Customer Survey and our success and longevity. Contact us to learn more.
