In this GCP Short, produced in partnership with Aon and HDIGlobal, and revealing more detail behind the new property group captive being established in the Cayman Islands.

Property Engineered Risk Insurance Limited (PERIL) has received a conditional licence from the Cayman Islands Monetary Authority (CIMA), and has been set up by Aon and HDI, as revealed by Captive Intelligence last week.

PERIL has 10 founding members and will be licensed as a Class B(i) captive in Cayman, managed by Aon and fronted by HDI.

Richard is joined by Tracy Williams, managing director of group captive solutions at Aon, Jason Tyng, vice president of the US Captive Solutions Group at HDI Global, and Timon Mueller, US property underwriting manager at HDI.

Tracy, Jason and Timon discuss the drivers for establishment of PERIL, why property group captives have typically been harder to get off the ground than those writing casualty lines and the kinds of companies they are expecting to join as members.

Dan Sammons, Captive Manager for HDI in the UK and Ireland, and Kate Sutcliffe, Chief Underwriting Officer for Short Tail business in the same region, explain why supply chain is a challenging area for clients and insurers, and how an insured’s captive can play an important role in facilitating a broader risk financing approach.

In this GCP Short, produced in partnership with Aon, we discuss utilising captives in a soft insurance market.

Captive formations surged in the period 2019 to 2024 when the tough commercial market was at its hardest. But according to formations tracked by Ci DataHub this year, 2025 is keeping on track for another bumper year of new captive formations.

Captives may not be wholly market cycle dependent, but how they are utilised in soft and hard markets can differ and insurance buyers can benefit from a nimble and flexible approach to how they deploy their captive.

Joining Richard for a conversation on how to get the most from a captive in a soft market is Jay Curtis, Director of EnterpriseClient Captive Solutions in the Americas for Aon, Diane Hanson, Managing Director & Head of Aon’s Vermont Captive Management Office, and Michelle D'Amico, Associate Director of Aon Risk Finance & Captive Consulting.
