Supporting the next generation of talent, Fidelis Insurance Group, now Pelagos Insurance Capital, partnered with the Bermuda Foundation for Insurance Studies (BFIS) to sponsor a student to attend the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) NextGen Bootcamp.
The initiative reflects the company’s commitment to developing future leaders, providing the selected student with the opportunity to attend the two-day programme in New York, as well as gain exposure to Fidelis Insurance Group’s Bermuda and US operations.
Designed to give university students a deeper understanding of financial markets, the NYSE NextGen Bootcamp offers hands-on experience, including access to the NYSE trading floor, interaction with Designated Market Makers, and insight into a wide range of financial topics.
Miranda Hunter, Head of Investor Relations at Fidelis Insurance Group, said the programme equips participants with valuable knowledge across areas such as capital markets, equities, derivatives, and broader financial systems.
The initiative also included a visit to the company’s Bermuda headquarters, where the student met with senior leaders, including Bermuda Chief Executive Officer and Group Chief Financial Officer Allan Decleir.
“This initiative underscores our commitment to investing in local talent and addressing the existing gap in access to opportunities,” Hunter said. “Participation in the NYSE programme provides valuable insights into finance and trading, equipping participants with skills that will support their long-term career development.”
She added that supporting programmes like the NYSE NextGen Bootcamp aligns with the company’s broader goal of fostering future leaders in Bermuda while reinforcing its commitment to community engagement.
