NFP, an Aon company and property and casualty (P&C) broker and benefits consultant, has established its P&C Group Captive practice through the acquisition of Trinity Risk Advisors, LLC, a Charlotte, N.C.-based captive brokerage firm.
Alan Wise, Founder and President of Trinity Risk Advisors, will lead the P&C Group Captive practice as Managing Director. He will report to Meg McSherry, Managing Director and Head of P&C in NFP’s Atlantic region.
Previously, Wise sold Trinity Consulting, a risk management and employee benefits firm, to NFP in 2015 before founding Trinity Risk Advisors.
The Group Captive practice will support companies seeking greater control and efficiency over their P&C risks and related costs by pooling resources with like-minded businesses. It will help clients evaluate eligibility and the potential financial case for group captive participation, identify appropriate programs in the market, coordinate placement and onboarding, and support the transition into the captive.
NFP said the new practice complements its Risk and Insurance Strategy Collective (RISC), the firm’s captive consulting and management platform. Based in Burlington, VT, RISC focuses on forming single-parent captives, segregated cell captives, and risk retention groups. It also supports the feasibility, formation, and ongoing captive management of captive insurance companies, as well as the strategic review of existing captives.
“We’re excited to formally establish a group captive solution that helps small and mid-size clients retain certain risks at lower costs,” said McSherry. “Alan’s technical expertise and leadership in managing all aspects of the group captive model will enable clients to unlock its benefits and position themselves for long-term financial strength and stability.”
“I’m thrilled to help launch NFP’s Group Captive practice and provide clients with a collaborative risk-sharing mechanism tailored to their risk management needs,” said Wise. “The educational component is especially exciting. I’ll be advising NFP producers on the most effective group captive structures available in the market, helping clients achieve greater cost efficiency, improved cash flow and more control of their insurance programs.”
