Puerto Rico
Puerto Rico offers a unique 'dual sovereignty' environment, governed by standard US federal oversight while Puerto Rican law takes precedence in corporate and insurance matters. It maintains an International Insurance Center as a one-stop regulatory shop for over 450 active captives. Pure captives utilize a 5:1 premium to surplus ratio, while association captives cap third-party risks at 20%.
