SCOTTSDALE, Ariz.—The 16th annual World Captive Forum attracted more than 330 attendees from around the world to the Fairmont Scottsdale Princess Hotel in Scottsdale, Ariz.

The annual conference is produced jointly by Business Insurance, Quest Insurance Solutions Ltd. and Tillinghast-Towers Perrin.

Reflecting the corporate interest in the area, about half of the sessions were devoted to funding of employee benefit risks through captives. Other session topics included the use of cell captives, captive investment strategies, tax issues related to captives and developments in the reinsurance market.
