Guernsey Finance International Business Development
Director James Crawford discusses why South African financial
advisers and clients are seeking the stability of a jurisdiction
such as Guernsey.
Trading links between South Africa and Guernsey go back many
years, with a number of the country's big finance houses having
a presence in the island, which is perfectly positioned between
England and France.
That relationship is certainly strengthening again as Guernsey
is seen as a secure and stable financial centre for financial
advisers and clients seeking that comfort in politically turbulent
times.
I have been privileged to visit your country in August and
September, promoting Guernsey's strengths in international
pension provision and private wealth services, and again most
recently to discuss the structuring of investment funds.
