Every year, Captive Review publishes the Power 50, a list recognizing the individuals shaping the captive insurance industry. Unlike self-nominated awards or pay-to-play rankings, the Power 50 is built on peer recognition. The people on the list are there because their colleagues, clients, and counterparties said they should be. That distinction is what gives it weight.
Nominations and voting for the 2026 Power 50 are now open, with a deadline of March 20, 2026.
Captive insurance is a relationship-driven business. The managers, consultants, actuaries, regulators, and advisors who move this market forward don't typically get visibility through advertising or brand campaigns. They get it through the quality of their work and the trust of their peers. The Power 50 is one of the few public forums where that trust is formalized.
For the individuals recognized, it's a validation of the work they're doing. For the industry as a whole, the list serves as a benchmark, a snapshot of who is driving innovation, raising standards, and building programs that perform over time. When the list reflects the full breadth of the captive ecosystem, it elevates everyone's understanding of where the industry is headed.
The strongest Power 50 lists aren't dominated by the same names every year. They reflect the practitioners doing substantive work right now, not just the most visible, but the most impactful:
If you work with someone in this industry whose contributions deserve recognition, this is the mechanism to make that visible.
We've been fortunate to have members of our team recognized on the Power 50 in prior years, and we're proud of that. But our interest here goes beyond any individual name. A strong, well-represented Power 50 benefits the entire captive market by highlighting the depth of talent and expertise available to companies considering or operating captive programs.
The captive industry is growing in sophistication, in scale, and in the range of risks being addressed through alternative structures. The people driving that growth deserve recognition, and the Power 50 is one of the best vehicles for it.
The process is straightforward:

If you've worked with us and the experience was meaningful, consider putting a name forward. A nomination takes a few minutes and carries real impact.
If there are others in your network doing work that deserves recognition, nominate them too! The list is better when it reflects the full breadth of the industry.
If you're on the fence, the deadline is March 20. Don't let it pass.
Whether you nominate one person or ten, your participation shapes how the industry sees itself. We'd encourage everyone in the captive space to take a few minutes and put forward the names that deserve to be there. The Power 50 is one of the few places where both relationships and reputation are recognized publicly. We'd appreciate your support, but more importantly, we appreciate your participation in making the list reflect the people who are genuinely moving this industry forward.
