Capital Markets Make The World Go Round

Carey Group's Joe Truelove argues that Guernsey's extensive experience with a wide range of entities seeking to attract investment makes it an ideal place for raising capital.

Capital markets are where corporates go to raise equity or debt finance. There is often a connection to Guernsey, a British Crown Dependency, which is home to a thriving capital markets industry that has three distinct sub sectors. First, the high profile listed investment funds sector; second and less well-known is Guernsey's capability to support listed trading companies on a range of international markets; and finally, Guernsey is home to the domestic Channel Islands Securities Exchange Authority (CISEA).
