With global annual medical trend continuing in double digits, proactive risk management is essential. Marsh Nexus Captive Solution delivers employer control, plan transparency, and operational efficiency - enabling sustainable benefits that support a healthy, productive workforce.

What is a cell captive for international employee benefits?

A licensed insurance vehicle that lets employers finance and reinsure group benefits (medical, life, disability, accident) across multiple countries while keeping each participant’s assets and liabilities separate.

Who should consider a cell captive?

  • Multinational employers with multiple local benefit arrangements seeking sustainable cost savings and improved budgeting.
  • Organizations willing to self-insure but without easy access to a standalone captive for international employee benefits.
  • Employers seeking dependable plan performance reporting and data-driven benefit insights and analytics.
