Nevada is not only one of the older captive domiciles in the United States, it is also a domicile that has enjoyed steady growth. In the 5 years between 2013 to 2017, the number of captives licensed in Nevada, whose captive statute marks its 20th anniversary in 2019, increased over 40 percent. Single-parent captives, which Nevada law defines as pure captives, account for the bulk of that growth. In 2017, 167 single-parent captives held licenses in Nevada, up more than 60 percent since 2013. A key factor, captive managers say, that has driven Nevada’s captive growth is the quality of their regulatory staff.
