Investopedia explains 'Active Retention'

The process of active retention makes it possible to protect against losses of relatively small amounts that occur regularly. It is regarded as a form of self-insurance. One of the benefits of active retention is the avoidance of the administrative costs associated with seeking insurance from another party.
