Bermuda Group Supervision
EVEREST GROUP, LTD. · 2026-10-30 · Importance 44 · Surprise 42
The Bermuda Monetary Authority (BMA) formally determined that it should become Everest’s Group Supervisor and assigned the Company a group registration number; Bermuda Re is designated to handle group-level regulatory compliance under Section 27B of Bermuda’s Insurance Act 1978. Everest expects formal designation as an Internationally Active Insurance Group (IAIG) and is discussing requirements with the BMA during a transition period ending in January 2027. Requirements include group solvency and capital standards, consolidated reporting and audit obligations, recovery planning, and prior notice or approval for certain material changes. Everest says compliance will require considerable resources, could increase regulatory costs, and may affect capital requirements, financing terms and ratings.
