Trouble In Paradise?

Is Bermuda in the midst of an identity crisis? That’s the impression I received after a full day of existential angst expressed during the Professional Liability Underwriting Society’s “Bermuda Perspective” conference last week.

Among the short-term threats cited by various speakers was the vulnerability of Bermuda’s market should the United States move to level the tax liability playing field, as well as the ability of the island’s infrastructure to handle further insurance industry expansion.
