NASHVILLE The Tennessee Department of Commerce & Insurance’s (TDCI) Captive Insurance Section and Memphis-based global fiber-based packaging, pulp and paper products leader International Paper proudly announce the relocation of International Paper’s captive insurance company from Vermont to Tennessee.
The arrival of International Paper’s captive insurance company is a milestone for Tennessee as it represents the Volunteer State’s 700th risk-bearing captive insurance entity. Tennessee now has 211 standalone captives and 489 cell captives. Tennessee is currently ranked as the 7th largest captive domicile in the United States and 12th largest domicile in the world.
Captive insurance companies, which are regulated by TDCI, are formed primarily as a financing vehicle to self-insure the related or affiliated business risks of its owners. A risk-bearing entity is any formation type of a captive insurance company, including cell captives.
