Sedgwick has launched a specialized carrier and captive solutions unit to provide claims administration and risk management services. The new division aims to address the rapidly growing demand for alternative risk structures.
Why it matters
The launch is a strategic response to the expansion of the alternative risk market. By consolidating specialized claims handling and board reporting, the firm seeks to support evolving needs in the captive and managing general agent sectors.
The new unit is supported by 1,000 dedicated professionals, serving a global captive market that reached US$82 billion in 2025. This sits alongside the US MGA market, which hit US$128 billion in premium during the same period.
