ANY SUFFICIENTLY ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY IS
EQUIVALENT TO MAGIC. - ARTHUR C. CLARKE «
In this issue, we are also proud to highlight a monumental
change as the Insurance Managers Association of
Cayman boldly launches its new outward-facing
brand: Cayman International Insurance, The Better
Alternative. This new brand changes the way the
association communicates by presenting itself not as
an industry body trying to develop itself, but as the face
of an already successful industry that has moved to
the next level, ready and able to explore new markets,
innovations in how captives and other insurance
structures are used, and technological advances that
already play such an integral part of what we do.
Arthur Clarke’s second of three laws (the third being
quoted above) is “the only way of discovering the limits
of the possible is to venture a little way past them into
the impossible”.
May we always take strides to discover more, push
the limits of the impossible, and continue to tap into
universal creativity to explore beyond our wildest
dreams.

It is an incredibly interesting time to be on the planet.
In the past (very) few years, conversations around
board room tables and dinner tables alike have
drastically changed, as collectively our reliance upon,
familiarity with, and understanding of more complex
technology has taken quantum leaps up the learning
curve.
At the ARMOUR technology and cyber-security
conference in Cayman in late 2018, it was suggested
that Cayman leave its dollar behind and go 100%
crypto currency.
In November 2018 Richard Branson ‘toured’ his new
Virgin Galactic’s spaceship, via VR of course, in his
drive to ‘democratise space’ by providing access to it.
Quantum computing, “hactivism”, ‘neurohacking’,
mass data, artificial intelligence, nanotechnology,
avatars, robotics … all terms quickly becoming part of
our lexicon. The speed at which this technology is being
developed, and becoming part of how we think, how
we communicate, how we do business, is breakneck,
which of course impacts how we assess the risks
associated with these developments in our businesses.
This sixth issue of Captive Insight has its eye firmly
planted on the future: of international insurance; and
the dramatic impact of technology as it permeates
every level of business and our personal lives.
