CELL CAPTIVE SOLUTION
Old Mutual Alternative Risk Transfer Limited (OMART) provides structured insurance solutions to clients who want to manage their own insurance risks or form partnerships to participate in insurance activity. This is provided by setting up a cell within OMART i.e. a ring fenced insurance solution where the client is a shareholder.
The client is rewarded by means of dividends from the cell for any profits that may arise from the insurance activities of the cell. This means that “non-insurance” companies are able to earn profits typically only enjoyed by traditional insurance companies, by gaining access to OMART’s risk management expertise and capabilities.
