BDA hosts captive webinar

The Bermuda Business Development Agency (BDA) has unveiled plans to host a webinar on the benefits of Bermuda-based captive insurance for Latin American corporations.

The hour-long webinar is scheduled for 1 pm Bermuda time on April 27 and will be conducted entirely in Spanish.

The panel of Bermuda-based experts consists of Giulianna Molero Solari, manager, captive insurance, PwC Bermuda, who will moderate and deliver a case study, Andres Carmona, finance manager, Marsh, and Eduardo Fox, manager, LatAm global & corporate/commercial & trusts Sectors, Appleby.

Panellists will discuss how companies can “reap the substantial advantages of establishing a Bermuda captive insurance company to self-insure a variety of industry needs and risks—from cyber and healthcare to employee benefits”.

Additionally, the webinar will look at what a captive is and how to incorporate it and Bermuda’s regulatory, tax and legal considerations

“Over the past year, the BDA has conducted several roadshows throughout the LatAm region and we’ve seen a lot of follow-up interest in Bermuda,” said Jereme Ramsay, BDA business development manager for the risk sector.

“This webinar is a great way to reiterate the Bermuda message, and highlight our market strengths as a captive and reinsurance leader.”
