Domiciles

Special thank you to Captive Intelligence for providing much of the data used here. It is based on year-end 2022 and has been verified with relevant governing bodies, based on the following definitions:

• The core of cell or “sponsored” captive structures, i.e., PCC, ICC, SPC, SAC, and Series, are included, but individual cells and series are not.
• Data on individual cells and series is collected where domiciles provide it, and numbers are provided, but the industry does not currently have a consistent approach to contextualizing.
• Group and Association captives are counted together under “group”.

For helpful background on how the data is gathered and measures taken to establish a consistent framework for counting captives, read a brief overview from Captive Intelligence.

If you represent a domicile or domicile association and are able to update and complete the data fields, please use this form to submit updated information. All data will be verified by CICA before it is published and will include the date and source of the update.
