With interest rates on the rise from their lowest levels in recent history and fewer banks willing to offer Letters of Credit at competitive prices, it is critical that captive owners pay close attention to how their investment program is constructed and maintained. The speakers will share some of their experiences of how they have assisted their clients in developing successful investment programs that not only maximize risk-adjusted returns but also satisfy the collateral requirements of the captive. A Captive Owner will also discuss how he has been able to achieve these goals with his company.
