In the latest episode of Skadden's yearlong podcast series on global prudential solvency requirements, host Rob Chaplin and colleague Chiara Iorizzo explore regulatory capital in the United States, one of the largest insurance markets in the world. They discuss how the insurance industry is regulated across the country, as well as how the National Association of Insurance Commissioners operates and interacts with state-level regulators. They also review how solvency capital is calculated in the U.S. and how companies licensed in multiple states must adhere to relevant laws in each jurisdiction, among other topics.

Words of wisdom: “Each insurance company is domiciled in one state, subject to certain exceptions where an insurer can be deemed to be commercially domiciled in a second state. While insurers are primarily regulated by the domiciliary regulator, they're also subject to the laws of each and every state where they're licensed.”
