The Hon. Jason Hayward, JP, MP, Minister of Economy and Labour, recently met with senior executives of the Alternative Investment Management Association (AIMA) during a strategic visit to New York City as part of ongoing efforts to promote Bermuda's leadership in the global investment space.
Minister Hayward engaged in high-level discussions with Michelle Noyes, Head of Americas at AIMA, and Joseph Engelhard, Senior Counsel, U.S. Policy and Regulation. AIMA is the world's largest membership association for the alternative investment industry, representing over 2,000 members across 60 countries.
The dialogue centred on strengthening Bermuda's strategic relationship with AIMA and its members, with a shared focus on positioning Bermuda as a premier jurisdiction for fund management.
Key topics included strategies to expand Bermuda’s market share in the global alternative investment and hedge fund sectors and our readiness to support innovation in digital asset funds to remain competitive in an evolving financial landscape.
Minister Hayward emphasised, “Bermuda's regulatory strength, commitment to innovation, and world-class financial services infrastructure make it uniquely positioned to attract and support forward-looking investment managers. We are working proactively with global industry leaders to ensure Bermuda remains a hub for excellence in fund management and digital asset innovation."
The meeting reaffirmed Bermuda’s role as a collaborative, forward-thinking partner and leader in alternative investment markets.
