Switzerland
Switzerland boasts top-tier political and fiscal stability, with major insurance hubs in Zurich and Zug offering a vast pool of experienced staff. Captives benefit from proportional regulation and relief from tied-asset regulations for intra-group activities. The Swiss Solvency Test (SST) is basically parallel to EU requirements, offering simplified models for reinsurance captives.
