Sedgwick's New Carrier and Captive Solutions

In today's fast-evolving insurance market, the landscape of risk is transforming quicker than traditional insurance frameworks can adapt. Recognizing this need for innovation, Sedgwick, a global leader in risk and claims administration, has recently launched its Carrier and Captive Solutions, catering to the changing dynamics of risk management.

The Need for Change in the Insurance Industry

As businesses increasingly turn to managing General Agencies (MGAs) and Managing General Underwriters (MGUs), the pursuit of enhanced control over costs and claims outcomes has become paramount. The U.S. MGA market saw a remarkable premium increase to $128 billion in 2025, with further projections suggesting the global captive market will rise from $82 billion in 2025 to a thriving $120 billion by 2035. These figures highlight a pressing need for insurers to evolve their operations according to new market expectations and complexities.

Sedgwick's new Carrier and Captive Solutions initiative is designed to fulfill this gap. This entity offers a tailored, scalable solution engineered specifically for carriers and alternative risk organizations, reinforcing the existing operational framework and providing new avenues for claims processing and management.

Innovative Operational Model

Jason Rogers, the Managing Director of Carrier and Captive Solutions, leads the new initiative, supported by a robust team of over 1,000 experts, including adjusters and data analysts. Sedgwick aims to deliver a comprehensive client-first operational structure that stands out in the crowded marketplace of insurance solutions.

In comparison with some third-party administrators, Sedgwick achieves notable efficiencies: a 5% reduction in cost per claim, 12% higher claim closure rates, and a staggering 46% fewer high-severity claims involving workers' compensation and general liability. These metrics speak volumes about Sedgwick’s dedication to leveraging data and analytics to enhance risk management outcomes.

Sedgwick's diverse offerings within the Carrier and Captive Solutions framework include:
