Tenn. Code Ann. § 56-13-401: Creation of special purpose financial captives

This part provides for the creation of "special purpose financial captives" (SPFCs) exclusively to facilitate the securitization of one (1) or more risks, as a means of accessing alternative sources of capital and achieving the benefits of securitization. SPFCs are created for the limited purpose of entering into SPFC contracts and insurance securitization transactions and into related agreements to facilitate the accomplishment and execution of those transactions. The creation of SPFCs is intended to achieve greater efficiencies in structuring and executing insurance securitizations, to diversify and broaden sources of capital for insurers, to facilitate access for many insurers to insurance securitization and capital markets financing technology, and to further the economic development and expand the interest of this state through its captive insurance program.
