Captive International

What Captive International does

Captive International is a B2B online trade publication delivering news, analysis, and market intelligence to the global captive insurance industry. It is operated by Newton Media Limited, a privately held UK company registered in England (company number 04884596) and headquartered at Kingfisher House, 21-23 Elmfield Road, Bromley. The publication targets captive insurance professionals — risk managers at multinational corporations, captive managers, brokers, insurers, ratings agencies, and regulators — and maintains dedicated editorial coverage across Law & Regulation, Asset Management, Accounting & Tax, IT & Claims Management, Actuarial Underwriting, Feasibility Studies, and New Captive Models, alongside regional focus verticals for Bermuda, the Cayman Islands, the United States, and Europe.

The core product is a content-led website (captiveinternational.com) augmented by a free twice-weekly email newsletter that functions as the primary lead-generation channel. Editorial inventory has expanded beyond core news into branded programs such as the US Awards, FORTY Under 40, and Influential Women in Captive Insurance, plus a Company Directory, an Events hub, and dedicated event coverage of AIRMIC, FERMA Forum, and the Bermuda Captive Conference. The underlying technology stack is a standard web publishing platform with content management capabilities — no proprietary AI, API, SDK, or integration layer is disclosed, and there is no native mobile application.

Newton Media Limited monetizes Captive International through two streams: recurring publication subscriptions (fees defined per Order Form, annual billing, advance payment by credit/debit card or bank transfer, fees ex-VAT and changeable on 30 days' notice) and advertising/sponsorship inventory aimed at captive insurance service providers. Distribution is digital-first via the website, the twice-weekly newsletter, and social channels on Twitter/X (@CaptiveInt) and LinkedIn. The publication serves a global captive insurance audience with no disclosed geographic restrictions, and no parent company, external investors, M&A activity, funding rounds, or patents are evidenced in available source materials.

Direct peers

• Captive Review: Captive Review is the most direct competitor, operating as a global captive insurance industry news, analysis, and events brand. It serves the same buyer base (captive owners, brokers, managers, regulators) with overlapping coverage of Bermuda, Cayman, and US markets.
• Insurance Times: Insurance Times is a UK-based B2B trade publication for the general insurance industry. It mirrors Captive International's B2B trade media model and subscription/advertising revenue structure, though it covers the broader UK insurance market rather than specializing in captives.
• Artemis: Artemis is a Bermuda-based digital media outlet covering reinsurance, catastrophe bonds, insurance-linked securities, and the Bermuda market. It overlaps with Captive International's Bermuda focus and reinsurance/cat bond coverage, targeting similar institutional readers and advertising partners.
• Insurance Journal: Insurance Journal is a leading US-based B2B insurance trade publication delivering daily news and analysis to insurance professionals. It shares the same B2B trade media model, subscription and advertising revenue mix, and professional audience focus as Captive International, though at a much broader P&C industry scope.
• Risk & Insurance: Risk & Insurance is a US-based B2B media brand covering enterprise risk management and commercial insurance buyers. It shares Captive International's B2B trade media model and overlapping buyer base of corporate risk managers and brokers.

Broad incumbents

• Reactions (Euromoney): Reactions is a global reinsurance and risk trade publication under Euromoney. It targets similar reinsurance and large corporate risk buyer audiences and competes for the same specialist advertising and sponsorship revenue pool in the broader insurance media market.
• Business Insurance: Business Insurance is a long-established B2B trade media outlet covering commercial insurance, risk management, and benefits. It competes for the same advertising dollars from brokers, insurers, and service providers, but with broader industry coverage rather than captive specialization.
• Insurance Insider: Insurance Insider is a London-based subscription news service covering the global re/insurance industry. It competes for institutional reinsurance and captive-adjacent advertising and subscriber budgets with a more newswire-oriented subscription model.
