Bermuda

Bermuda is a highly respected and successful international finance centre that is recognised across the world for its standards of compliance, regulation, transparency and infrastructure.

The jurisdiction was ranked at the top of the Global Financial Centres Index (September 2017) and is globally renowned for its insurance expertise. Bermuda reinsurers make up more than a third of the global reinsurance market based on property/casualty net premiums earned, while the Island is also home to the world's biggest captive insurance market and the largest global share of insurance-linked securities listings.

In addition, Bermuda is a thriving centre for funds, private clients, family offices, shipping, aviation and start-up ventures.

Located 650 miles from the east coast of the United States, Bermuda's favourable Atlantic time zone makes it an ideal location for companies serving global markets.

The jurisdiction enjoys political and economic stability and boasts a legal system that marked its 400th anniversary in 2016. The Island's legal system is based on English common law principles, with recourse to the UK Judicial Committee of the Privy Council.
