Captive Webinar

A Private Briefing with REIN CEO Patrick Francey and
Insurance Expert Alex Bell

An exclusive, FREE live webinar exploring how the REIN community
can access an institutional-grade strategy to reduce insurance costs, escape
market cycles, and retain underwriting profits.

For decades, Canada’s largest REITs and real estate corporations have used a powerful secret weapon
to manage risk and control costs: Captive Insurance. They opted out of the volatile
traditional insurance market and built their own.

This allowed them to:
  • Keep underwriting profits instead of handing them to carriers.
  • Stabilize premiums and escape the hard/soft market cycles.
  • Gain direct access to the more efficient reinsurance market.
  • Control the claims process, ensuring faster, fairer resolutions.
This institutional advantage has never been accessible to individual real estate investors—until now.
REIN, in partnership with insurance expert Alex Bell, is leading the evaluation of what may be the first captive insurance structure designed specifically for Canadian retail real estate investors. This FREE private webinar is your introduction to this groundbreaking initiative. It is not a sales pitch; it is a strategic briefing on how you can become an owner of your own insurance company.

  • Why Sophisticated Operators Use Captives: Learn how they stabilize premiums and retain underwriting profit.
  • How Different Captive Structures Work: Discover the differences between agency-owned, group, or single-parent captives.
  • The Real Numbers: Discuss capital requirements, governance, risks, and potential downside scenarios.
  • Good Fit vs. Bad Fit: Learn what makes a portfolio a strong or weak candidate for a captive.
  • The Feasibility Study: Understand what the mandatory first step—a complimentary, no-obligation analysis—actually measures.
  • Operate a Profitable, Well-Managed Portfolio: Your track record of disciplined management is your greatest asset.
  • Make Few Small Claims: You understand that insurance is for catastrophic protection, not minor incidents.
  • Are Comfortable with a Collective Structure: You see the value in pooling resources with like-minded peers to achieve institutional scale.
