Reinsurance. Reinvented.

Price Forbes Re has a strong presence in Bermuda, with its Hamilton‑based team offering a full suite of reinsurance capabilities, capital solutions, and strategic advisory services. We provide an unconflicted route to the island, the world’s largest reinsurance market.

The team specializes in all aspects of reinsurance broking, supporting clients with the placement of treaty, facultative, retrocession, and binder programmes, as well as advising on captive solutions and alternative risk transfer structures. Bermuda is also the headquarters of Price Forbes Capital Markets Ltd., a leading independent capital markets intermediary.

Why Bermuda?

Bermuda is the world’s largest reinsurance market and a cornerstone of global risk transfer. Its reputation as a responsive, resilient, and innovative jurisdiction has been forged through decades of leadership during periods of global stress. Bermuda’s (re)insurers have consistently mobilised capital and expertise following major loss events, including the 9/11 terrorist attacks, the 2005 hurricane season, and the Covid‑19 pandemic.

Located in the North Atlantic, approximately 1,000 kilometres off the eastern seaboard of the United States, Bermuda occupies a strategically important position within the global risk ecosystem. Its proximity to North America, combined with strong commercial ties to the United Kingdom, positions the island as a vital transatlantic bridge for global risk transfer. Bermuda’s thriving international business sector and dense concentration of (re)insurance companies, investment firms, and financial institutions make it a major commercial centre for the global market.

Bermuda offers a combination of scale, expertise, and innovation that is unmatched globally. The island accounts for a significant share of worldwide reinsurance activity and hosts a concentrated network of carriers, MGAs, and capital providers. With approximately 1,400 insurance professionals based on the island, Bermuda benefits from one of the highest concentrations of underwriting and broking expertise per capita, fostering a highly collaborative and responsive market culture.

The jurisdiction is overseen by the Bermuda Monetary Authority, which administers a robust and internationally recognised regulatory framework that promotes transparency, financial stability, and investor confidence. Bermuda is also a global leader in insurance‑linked securities and captive insurance, providing a sophisticated innovation ecosystem that supports alternative risk transfer and attracts institutional capital.
