The location is Bermuda's first all-new resort built in nearly four
decades and is an idyllic getaway on 200 acres of the most magnificent
waterfront in Bermuda.

Conference excitement is building in Bermuda as Capital G looks forward
to hosting U.S. media mogul Steve Forbes as the conference keynote speaker.

Mr. Forbes, renowned internationally as an economic prognosticator, will
share his unique insights on the role of "Capitalism in the global economic
recovery." Also, Mr. Forbes will be the special guest at a 'by invitation
only' VIP Dinner hosted by exclusive sponsor The Bermuda Department of
Tourism.

On conference day, April 13, registered delegates will have access to
breakout sessions that examine the current threats to wealth growth and
preservation, assess the recovering global capital markets and speak to the
issues of business and estate planning and transferring Bermuda wealth to US
beneficiaries. The Agenda also incorporates a discussion of writing
philanthropy into today's estate strategy. An esteemed faculty representing
local legal, accounting, investment and estate firms has been assembled to
deliver the Agenda of conference sessions.

Barbara Tannock, CFA, SVP, Head of Capital G Private Banking said: "With
Mr. Forbes as keynote speaker, it brings an interesting dynamic to the
conversation — the same forces that were blamed for the collapse of global
markets are being relied on to provide recovery." She goes on to note, "His
delivery promises to be very thought provoking, certainly relevant and one
from which our clients and partners will draw great value. We take seriously
our positioning as an integrated wealth management innovator and a
facilitator of dialogue on the issues impacting Bermuda's private clients.
Mr. Forbes' acceptance of our invitation is true testament to that."

Dr. Lawrence Chimerine, an economic consultant for 25 years, will be the
guest speaker for the Conference Luncheon at the Tucker's Point Golf Club.
Dr. Chimerine has served on numerous governmental advisory boards, including
the House of Representatives Task Force on International Competitiveness, the
Census Advisory Committee, and the Economic Policy Board of the Department of
Commerce.

"The private wealth landscape in Bermuda is currently in a state of flux
arising from the substantial structural and market change and shifts in our
own economic infrastructure brought about by the credit crisis and subsequent
recession," Ms. Tannock said. "The Speakers at this Conference will address
both the challenges and the opportunities presented in such an environment,
while relating the global challenges to the local landscape. We are really
looking forward to it."

Bermuda and international companies across the private wealth spectrum
have endorsed this event with confirmed sponsors including: The Bermuda
Ministry of Finance, The Bermuda Department of Tourism, The Colonial Group,
KPMG, Trilogy Global Advisors, Tetrem Capital Management Ltd., FORS Ltd.,
Franklin Templeton Investments, MFS Investment Management, Rego Sotheby's
International Realty and Electronic Services Ltd.
