I feel option A is too restrictive. Captives have more flexibility.

C is the way to go. Who would've thought captives could be so versatile? I guess they're not just for the big guys anymore.

I'm going with C. A captive can access reinsurance and sometimes provide better coverage than the regular insurance market.

The answer is C. 2 and 3 are correct statements about captive insurance companies.

Hmm, I'm not sure about 1 and 4. Captives can act as reinsurers, and they don't have to be located in the same country as the parent company.

I recall a practice question where we discussed how captives can sometimes provide better coverage than traditional insurers, so statement 3 might be true.

I'm not entirely sure, but I feel like captives can act as reinsurers in some cases, which makes me question statement 1.

I think I remember that captives can access reinsurance markets, so maybe statement 2 is correct.

I've got a good strategy here. I'll eliminate the options that don't seem right, then focus on the remaining choices and try to apply my knowledge of captive insurance companies.

I'm a bit confused on the difference between a captive acting as a reinsurer versus accessing reinsurance markets. I'll have to review that part again.

I think 2 and 3 are correct. A captive can definitely access reinsurance markets and sometimes offer better coverage.

Okay, let's see. I know captives can access reinsurance, so that rules out option A. And captives can sometimes offer better coverage than the regular market, so I think C is the right answer.

Surprised to see people think captives can't offer more cover than the market.

Statement 4 seems off to me; I thought captives could be set up in different jurisdictions from their parent companies.

Hmm, this seems tricky. I'm not sure about the reinsurance part - I'll have to think that through carefully.
