Dominic Wheatley, chief executive of Guernsey Finance,
spoke to Captive Review about the island's emerging
opportunities.
Having taken over the reins at Guernsey Finance at the beginning
of December 2013, I have been extremely busy getting up to speed
with the various facets of the financial services industry the
organisation represents in the island. Of course, one area where I
require less assistance is that of insurance.
From my time with the Willis Global Captive Practice I am well
versed in the strengths of the insurance market locally,
particularly in the area of captive insurance. As Europe's
number one captive insurance domicile, the island plays host to a
large number of subsidiaries of global names such as AIG, Aon,
Artex, Barbican, Catlin, Generali, Hiscox, Jardine Lloyd Thompson,
Marsh, Old Mutual, Royal & Sun Alliance, SCOR and Willis, as
well as independent, boutique operators such as Alternative Risk
Management (ARM) and Kane.
