Guernsey QROPS – A Good Reputation

Originally published in International Adviser, QROPS supplement, September 2011.

Peter Niven, Chief Executive of Guernsey Finance, looks at how the Island has created an environment which helps QROPS business flourish. This is to the extent that Guernsey is recognised as the pre-eminent jurisdiction for QROPS and related business and the Island is taking all necessary steps to maintain that good reputation.

"The way to gain a good reputation, is to endeavour to be what you desire to appear," mused the classical Greek Athenian philosopher Socrates.

This enigmatic figure may be credited with being one of the founders of Western philosophy, but the above quote attributed to him neatly encapsulates Guernsey's approach to QROPS.
