The team visits Vancouver, BC, May 8–9, holding an Executive Forum on Bermuda Captive Insurance Solutions on the second day to offer insurance buyers, risk managers and financial executives an opportunity to learn more about the captive benefits Bermuda offers as a blue-chip international financial centre. The group will also visit Toronto, ON, May 11–12 to meet with industry service providers. Captive insurance, or self-insurance, allows global corporations a cost-effective way to efficiently manage today’s complex risks, including healthcare and cyber risks, as well as enterprise risk management.
“This initiative is part of BDA’s ongoing effort to pro-actively raise awareness about Bermuda’s sophisticated captive insurance market,” said BDA Business Development Coordinator Mark Darko. “We’re looking forward to hosting our first-ever forum in Vancouver, as well as revisiting established contacts in Toronto. Trends indicate that not only larger corporations, but also medium-sized businesses, are benefiting from self-insurance.”
Tuesday’s Vancouver forum is scheduled for 8:30am to noon and features two sessions: the first, Captive Solutions & Strategies, explains what a captive insurer is, how to structure a captive, key motivations to set up a hostage, alongside regular dangers protected, refering to a few contextual investigations. A second session focuses on regulatory, and tax and legal frameworks.
“I’m pleased to be endorsing insurance captives as commanding vehicles for comprehensive risk coverage and financial proficiency for businesses,” said Richard Daley, President, JLT Insurance Management Bermuda. “We’ll be highlighting Bermuda as the leading domicile of choice within captive insurance services and I am confident that our industry professionals will provide profound market knowledge to this event.”
Along with Daley, industry speakers include Eric Bretson, Partner, International Tax, EY; Umer Islam, Executive Director, EY Bermuda; Christiane Kenny-Post, Corporate Manager, Consultant Compass Administration Services, ASW Law; Choisel Murray, Assistant Vice President, Business Development, Aon Bermuda; Mike Parrish, Senior Vice President, Marsh IAS Management Bermuda; David Platt, former risk manager, Encana; Leslie Robinson, Assistant Director, Department of Licensing & Authorisations, Bermuda Monetary Authority (BMA); and Mike Weiss, Senior Vice President, Liberty International Underwriters.
“I am excited to be part of this BDA delegation,” said Islam. “The Vancouver forum will be an excellent opportunity for that region’s industry players and service providers alike to learn more about captive solutions and the significant value Bermuda offers as the world’s number-one captive insurance jurisdiction.”
Bermuda's hostage protection market is the worldwide pioneer, with near 800 organizations producing more than $55 billion in yearly gross composed premiums. The presence of commercial insurance and reinsurance companies on the island allows captive owners and operators to access open-market underwriting capacity not found in other captive domiciles, making Bermuda a one-stop-shop. Notably, captives are also increasingly popular tools for wealth preservation and succession planning for HNWIs and family offices.
