💼 Airmic (Association for Insurance & Risk) 2026: Employee benefits at the forefront of new UK captive regime structure could prove to be domicile ‘differentiator’. 🔗 https://lnkd.in/eWztresA As the Prudential Regulation Authority (PRA) finalises its consultation process for a UK-based captives regime, risk and insurance experts are highlighting a major potential differentiator. Embedding employee benefits into the new framework could give the UK a unique edge over competing international domiciles. Our latest article from the Airmic (Association for Insurance & Risk) Conference 2026 explores why industry leaders are pushing for this inclusion and what it means for the future of risk management: 🚀 A Major Differentiator: Including employee benefits would mark a significant advantage for the UK, especially as this remit is notably missing from successful regimes like France. 📊 High Demand: An Airmic survey revealed that over 50% of respondents are already putting employee benefits into their captives, showing a disproportionately high take-up among UK corporates compared to the rest of the world. 🛡️ Risk Diversification: The longer-term, highly predictable nature of employee benefits acts as an excellent tool to buffer against geopolitical volatility and insurance market cycles. 🌟 Talent Strategy Support: Utilising a captive allows organisations to remain flexible with their offerings, directly strengthening workforce sustainability, talent acquisition, and retention. 📈 Future Growth & Jobs: Panel experts agree that the incoming regime will not only validate captives on a global stage, but also create massive opportunities for the next generation of risk capital professionals across the EMEA network.
