While pools look and operate somewhat like insurance companies, the differences can be both subtle and significant. This concise, yet comprehensive article provides an easy-to-follow guide for evaluating potential or existing participation in a risk pool. The evaluation criteria apply whether the program is a risk pool, risk retention group, self-insurance group, group captive or other multi-entity risk financing arrangement. Written by BRS’s own Michael Kaddatz, and published by the iconic International Risk Management Institute (IRMI), the article is based on the accumulated experience of BRS’s risk and pool management professionals.
