What is a Risk Retention Group?

A Risk Retention Group is a chartered or licensed insurance company formed under the Federal Liability Risk Retention Act of 1986. The Risk Retention Act permits persons who practice in professions with similar liability risks to organize their own liability insurance carrier. A Risk Retention Group is owned by its members, who are also policyholders. Although a Risk Retention Group only needs to be chartered and licensed in one state, it may offer insurance coverage in other states as well. OMIC is licensed in Vermont and offers coverage in all states.
