Captive Insurance Times

What Captive Insurance Times does

Captive Insurance Times is a London-based B2B trade media company covering the global captive insurance industry, founded in 2010 and operated by Oakwood Captive Media Ltd. The publication targets captive insurance professionals, service providers (captive managers, law firms, actuaries, consultants, auditors), and regulators active across major and emerging captive domiciles. Its core product set comprises a news website, a bi-monthly digital magazine distributed in PDF format (293 issues published as of July 2026), a Service Provider Directory, a Domicile Guidebook, an events calendar, and Emerging Talent Profiles. Distribution spans the website, the PDF magazine, LinkedIn, Twitter, Facebook, RSS feeds, and an email newsletter, reaching practitioners in 20+ jurisdictions including Bermuda, Singapore, and Vermont.

The company's underlying technology is conventional web and digital publishing infrastructure: a content-managed website, periodic PDF production, social media accounts, and an email newsletter pipeline. There is no disclosed proprietary platform, machine-learning component, or data product beyond the Service Provider Directory and Domicile Guidebook, which function as structured reference assets rather than software products. Operational footprint is small, with 11-50 employees concentrated in London.

The revenue model is not publicly disclosed, but consistent with specialist B2B trade media, it is most plausibly sustained through advertising and sponsorship from captive insurance service providers, supplemented by potential directory listings, guidebook sponsorships, and event-related commercial activity. No funding rounds, acquisitions, ownership changes, or parent-company relationships have been disclosed, and the publication appears to operate as an independent, self-funded private limited company. Sixteen years of continuous operation indicate a stable, cash-generative niche media business rather than a venture-backed growth entity.
