The National Risk Retention Association (NRRA) held its third annual Leader’s Summit virtually from February 9 to 10, 2021. With attendance at the Leader's summit up this year, and interest in risk retention groups increasing due to the hard market, NRRA is now looking to its Fall Conference and the hope of meeting in-person.

Emergency Physicians Insurance Exchange Risk Retention Group (EPIX RRG) was placed in rehabilitation by the Vermont Superior Court for Washington County (the Court) on February 26, 2021. Vermont Department of Financial Regulation (Vermont DFR) Commissioner Michael S. Pieciak was appointed as the Rehabilitator.

As the risk retention group industry emerges from a protracted soft market that contributed to a significant decline in operational RRGs, it is important to recognize the long-term success the industry has exhibited across most business sectors. There are 37 risk retention groups that have been active for over 20 years, representing 17% of active risk retention groups.
