Every
International Offshore Financial Centre has developed
its own specialisations, and in Bermuda's case
it is insurance that stands out; mutual fund management
is also strong, assisted by the existence of the
Bermuda Stock Exchange
There
has also been strong development in the trust
management sector, fed particularly by an exodus
of assets from Hong Kong when the territory reverted
to Chinese rule.
International
banks were conspicuous by their absence due to
the Government's policy of excluding non-domestic
banks; then HSBC was allowed to buy the Bank of
Bermuda in 2003. However local banks provide adequate
services, and there has been a substantial development
of 'fringe' financing activities along with securities
trading, and most recently a surge in Internet
financial services.
