The Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) has issued a consultation paper proposing a legislative framework for Protected Cell Companies (PCCs) to support alternative risk transfer solutions. This structure allows a single legal entity to segregate assets and liabilities across distinct cells, targeting use cases such as captive insurance and insurance-linked securities. MAS invites stakeholders to submit feedback on the proposals via FormSG by 7 August 2026.
1/1 Circular No: ID 08/26 7 July 2026 To Chief Executives All Licensed Insurers Dear Sir/Madam ISSUANCE OF CONSULTATION PAPER ON PROPOSED FRAMEWORK FOR PROTECTED CELL COMPANIES IN SINGAPORE The Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) has issued a consultation paper on the proposed legislative framework for a new Protected Cell Companies (PCC) corporate structure in Singapore. 2 A PCC structure operates as a single legal entity comprising a central “Core” and one or more separate and distinct “Cells”. The assets and liabilities of each Cell are legally segregated from those of other Cells and the Core. The proposed framework aims to support the growth of alternative risk transfer solutions and deepen Singapore’s role as a risk management hub. For a start, the PCC framework is designed to support the following insurance use cases: captive insurance, insurance-linked securities and sovereign risk pools. 3 MAS invites comments on the proposals set out in the consultation paper.
