Insurance and surety-related collateral expertise

Our dedicated team understands the challenges and costs associated with posting collateral. That's why we offer simple and comprehensive alternatives to letters of credit (LOCs) for your insurance and surety-related collateral requirements.

The trust advantage

Our trust products provide direct advantages for your business:

  • The trust is usually significantly less expensive than an LOC
  • The income from the trust is the property of the depositor
  • The assets in the trust generally remain on the books of the depositor vs. liability
  • The trust is a widely accepted form of collateral in the insurance, captive, reinsurance, corporate deductible, and ILS industries
  • The draw-down characteristics are similar to those of an LOC
  • Unlike the LOC, the trust does not need to be renewed each year, eliminating the time and effort needed for the LOC renewal process
  • The trust can often replace multiple LOCs posted to the same carrier
