Taken Captive Delivers!, 2008-07-29
In the often dull industry of insurance, Taken Captive shatters the mold. Not only does Taken Captive explain the traditional uses for captives very well, it outlines some very useful applications of this flexible, financial planning instrument. The topics explained in the "Advanced Concepts" chapter alone are worth far more than the price of the book.

A must for every advisor! , 2008-05-05
This book was a great introduction to Captives and how they work. Taken Captive is an easy read and explains the process of setting up a captive as well as going over why a captive is or isn't a good fit for certain clients. This is very informative and has opened up my client base to new opportunities of alternative risk financing. This is definitely a book that needs to be in the library of all advisors.

Very Informative , 2008-02-21
Very informative and worth the read. Easy to understand and follow if you are familiar with the insurance industry. Wes's explanation on what captive insurance companies are, how they work, what it takes to get them licensed, how they are taxed, what policies they can issue and many of the other Captive subjects, is very clear. This is a good book for advisors to give to clients that may be intrested in captives.
