CICA's Annual Fronting Survey Report
Since 2001, CICA has annually conducted an industry survey to gauge the fronting/risk-sharing market.  This survey, done in conjunction with a number of prominent domicile associations, provides valuable insight into the use of fronting. 
In addition to concentrating on fronting issues, the scope of the survey has been expanded to include reinsurance issues, employee benefits in captives, and comparative financial information about captives
