Kensington Management Group

What Kensington Management Group does

Kensington Management Group Ltd. is a Cayman Islands-licensed insurance management firm founded in 1999, headquartered in George Town, Grand Cayman. The company provides full-service captive insurance management — feasibility studies, licensing, formation, accounting, cash and investment portfolio coordination, registered office, regulatory reporting, and corporate secretarial services — to member-owned group captive insurance companies. Its captive portfolio spans medical stop loss, workers compensation, general and product liability, auto liability and physical damage, property, and employee benefits. Kensington operates a team-based service model in which each client engagement is led by a chartered accountant, and more than half of its 50+ staff hold CPA/CA designations.

The firm is the largest independent Insurance Manager in the Cayman Islands, accounting for over 15% of premiums written locally within a domicile that hosts 653 captives and ranks as the second-largest offshore captive insurance market globally. Revenue is generated through contracted, multi-year captive management fees (managed-services model) with pricing not publicly disclosed. The company runs on customized internal IT and accounting/reporting software that is configured per client rather than relying on off-the-shelf insurance administration platforms. Kensington maintains a close operational relationship with sister company Captive Resources, LLC (CRI), a US-based consulting firm for member-owned group captives, providing a cross-border formation-to-management pipeline. There is no disclosed parent company, ownership structure, or external funding.
