In this episode of the Perspectives podcast, sponsored by Pareto Captive Services and hosted on BenefitsPRO.com, we'll hear highlights from the February 24th presentation titled, How the Captive Model Can Help Clients – Achieving Stability Through Scale. 

The demand for self-insurance is increasing, even though many of the stop-loss products on the market continue to fall short. With the frequency and severity of catastrophic claims on the rise, it is a prime time to help clients self-fund the smart way. This year it's critical to identify and explain flaws in stop-loss programs, as well as those associated with some captive models.

Andrew Clayton, President at Pareto Captive Services, and Austin Madison, Senior Vice President, Executive Vice President at HUB International address what to look for in a captive and how to ensure you select the best option for you and your clients.
