Marsh intends to add captive management to its Bahrain operation, Middle East Insurance Review reported, which would make it the first international broker to offer the service in the kingdom. The plan was announced at the fourth Gateway Gulf event, hosted by the Bahrain Economic Development Board on 1–2 November 2026.

Noor Al-Haji, CEO of Marsh Bahrain & Kuwait, pointed to Bahrain's status as a well-regulated financial centre and to captives as a tool for risks from supply chain disruption and cyber to employee benefit costs. Marcin Antosik, Marsh's captive leader for the Middle East, will lead the service. Marsh obtained captive licences in Dubai in 2008 and Abu Dhabi in 2018.
