The Isle of Man is a leading international centre for life insurance and wealth management. We are a politically and economically stable jurisdiction with a regulatory framework that puts customer protection first. The Isle of Man is an attractive jurisdiction for establishment and management of insurance structures. The sector is strongly represented by the trade body - the Isle of Man Insurance Association (IMIA) and is known through the international campaign Isle of Man for Life.

Non-Life Insurance Sector

The Island’s non- life insurance sector is predominantly made up of captive insurers and associated specialist insurance management companies, ranging from subsidiaries of the major international insurance broking and risk management organisations to local operations.

Third party commercial writers and providers of insurance to individuals make up a relatively small portion of the non- life market in the Isle of Man.

Captive Insurance

The Isle of Man is recognised as being one of the leading centres for captive insurance and has attracted high quality captive business from all over the world. Captive insurance companies are a vital part of group risk management strategies and offer one of the most effective and widely used mechanisms for risk management.

Captive insurance management is supported by an expert workforce, and the wider financial services sector in the Isle of Man.
