The Protected Cell Companies Act is adopted to provide a basis for the creation of protected cells by a domestic insurer as a means of accessing alternative sources of capital and achieving the benefits of insurance securitization or effectuating insurance business transfers in accordance with the Insurance Business Transfer Act.¹ Investors in fully funded insurance securitization transactions provide funds that are available to pay the insurer's insurance obligations or to repay investors or both. The creation of protected cells is intended to be a means to achieve more efficiencies in conducting insurance securitizations or insurance business transfers.
