What is the primary purpose of a Risk Retention Group?

The primary purpose of a Risk Retention Group is to provide liability insurance to policyholders from the same industry. This arrangement allows members of a specific profession or trade, who are facing similar risks, to come together and self-insure against those risks by pooling their resources. This is particularly beneficial in industries where traditional insurance markets may be limited or difficult to access.

By organizing as a Risk Retention Group, members can tailor their insurance solutions to address the unique challenges and risks inherent in their industry, often resulting in more competitive rates and better coverage options than they might find through conventional insurers. This collaborative approach promotes a shared understanding of industry-specific risks and fosters a proactive stance on risk management among participating members.
