We help clients design, form, and optimize captives as long-term capital tools, not administrative vehicles. Our solutions span the full lifecycle, from feasibility studies to structuring and placement, and are built around client performance goals.
By owning more of the risk outcome, clients can capture underwriting profit, deepen alignment with carriers, and operate with greater capital agility.
We serve corporates, public entities, and specialty programs alike, with a focus on bespoke value creation. For high-performing clients, a captive is more than an alternative, it’s a competitive advantage.
Benefits
Many insurers, MGAs, and corporates underestimate captives, viewing them solely as risk retention vehicles. In reality, they can be powerful capital tools—driving growth, margin retention, and investor alignment when integrated into broader strategy.
Retain Profitable Risk - Capture more underwriting profit and maintain control over claims by reducing reliance on external carriers.
Improve Capital Efficiency - Use captive structures to optimize regulatory capital, reduce reliance on surplus, and unlock balance sheet capacity.
Enable Structural Flexibility - Design tailored reinsurance, hybrid, or fronted solutions through the captive, aligning with capital strategy and long-term objectives.
What Makes Us Different
What sets Augment apart is our ability to connect risk with the right capital. We bring together global reinsurers, ILS funds, and private investors to design solutions that deliver stability for carriers and attractive returns for capital providers.
For us, it is not about placement. It is about alignment, sustainability, and long-term value on both sides of the table.
Captives aren't about risk removal - they're about value creation. In a capital driven strategy the captive isn't just a tool - it's the engine of transformation
