Captive Insurance Business
Mauritius is a premier domicile for captive insurance operations, offering a sophisticated regulatory framework, cost efficiency, and strategic positioning for risk financing.
A Captive Insurance Company is an insurance company established to insure or reinsure the risks of its parent company or group. Mauritius has established itself as an attractive captive insurance domicile, offering a mature regulatory framework under the Insurance Act, experienced service providers, and significant cost advantages compared to traditional captive domiciles. The Protected Cell Company (PCC) structure is particularly popular for captive insurance in Mauritius, enabling multiple insureds to participate in a single licensed entity.
Captive Structures
Mauritius supports pure captives (insuring only the risks of a single parent), group captives (insuring risks of affiliated companies), and cell captives (using the PCC structure to provide captive access to multiple unrelated insureds).
Risk Classes
Mauritius captives can be licensed to underwrite a wide range of risk classes including property, liability, employee benefits, professional indemnity, trade credit, and specialty risks as approved by the FSC.
PCC Advantage
The Protected Cell Company structure is highly efficient for captive insurance, allowing multiple insureds or risk classes to participate in a single licensed entity with complete asset segregation between cells.
Capital Requirements
Captive insurance companies must maintain minimum capital and solvency margins as prescribed by the Insurance Act and FSC regulations. PrimeLuxe advises on optimal capital structuring.
Licensing Process
Captive insurance licence applications are reviewed by the FSC with particular scrutiny of the risk programme, actuarial analysis, and governance arrangements. PrimeLuxe manages the complete application process.
Ongoing Compliance
Captive insurers must submit annual actuarial reports, audited accounts, and FSC regulatory returns. PrimeLuxe provides comprehensive compliance support and coordinates with actuaries, auditors, and the FSC.
