Praise for Structured Finance & Insurance
‘More and more each year, the modern corporation must decide what
risks to keep and what risks to shed to remain competitive and to
maximize its value for the capital employed. Culp explains the
theory and practice of risk transfer through either balance sheet
mechanism such as structured finance, derivative transactions, or
insurance. Equity is expensive and risk transfer is expensive. As
understanding grows, and, as a result, costs continue to fall, ART
will continue to replace equity as the means to cushion knowable
risks. This book enhances our understanding of ART.’
–Myron S. Scholes, Frank E. Buck Professor of Finance, Emeritus,
Graduate School of Business, Stanford University
‘A must-read for everyone offering structured finance as a
business, and arguably even more valuable to any one expected to
pay for such service.’
–Norbert Johanning, Managing Director, Daimler Chrysler Financial
Services
‘Culp’s latest book provides a comprehensive account of the most
important financing and risk management innovations in both
insurance and capital markets. And it does so by fitting these
innovative solutions and products into a single, unified theory of
financial markets that integrates the once largely separate
disciplines of insurance and risk management with the current
theory and practice of corporate finance.’
–Don Chew, Editor, Journal of Applied Corporate Finance (a Morgan
Stanley publication)
‘This exciting book is a comprehensive read on alternative
insurance solutions available to corporations. It focuses on the
real benefits, economical and practical, of alternatives such as
captives, rent-a-captive, and mutuals. An excellent introduction to
the very complex field of alternative risk transfer (ART).’
–Paul Wohrmann, Ph D, Head of the Center of Excellence ART and
member of the Executive Management of Global Corporate in Europe,
Zurich Financial Services
‘Structured Finance and Insurance transcends Silos to reach the
Enterprise Mountaintop. Culp superbly details integrated, captive,
multiple triggers and capital market products, and provides the
architectural blueprints for enterprise risk innovation.’
–Paul Wagner, Director, Risk Management, AGL Resources Inc.
