Introduction to Bermuda Pondstraddler Finance Media Productions

A Financial Literacy Education Mission for Our Bermuda Island Community 
by Martha Harris Myron

Pondstraddler definition:

A pondstraddler is a person with multiple citizenships who has a foot in more than one country across the Great Atlantic pond and whose heart is in both places.

Producing FREE Financial learning videos, podcasts, articles and courses in collaboration with Bermuda Island + international Luminaries, experts in finance, law, economics, taxation, risk, history, and more along with contributions from local artists, photographers, musicians, technologists, etc. for Bermuda Islanders' better money management in every-day life.

  She is passionately committed to fully integrated independent international financial education learning that has been crafted from real life experience and knowledge-based expertise, having lived the life of a multinational multi-jurisdictional globally mobile citizen, crossing borders and straddling the North Atlantic Pond between Bermuda, the United States, working 50% of her international financial planning career in each of the two jurisdictions.

  She states, “I developed cross-border financial planning guidelines, matrixes, and authored more than 1,500 articles on all financial matters for local Bermuda newspapers when I discovered on returning to my island home, the extraordinary financial complexity of Bermuda’s economy, a tiny island of 60,000 + community and a dominant player in the Global Re/insurance industry. 

Bermuda is a self-contained country even though still a British Overseas Territory

  • 400 year sitting Parliament
  • Legislation, Tax Treaties and Acts equaling in complexity to jurisdictions thousands of square miles its size
  • Constitution
  • Premier and legislative
  • Own currency + foreign exchange regulations
