Invest EB dividends in prevention to control rising costs 

Reinvesting captive dividends or plan profits into healthcare prevention, precaution and early treatment can make a significant cost mitigating impact on rising medical costs on employee benefits programmes, according to a panel speaking at Zurich’s Captive Dialogue Day on 25 June. 

Medical inflation is currently running at about 10% a year, which means that if a company has around 70% of its EB programme running through its captive, then the costs for the captive will be doubling every eight years.
