The contribution that Guernsey's finance sector makes to the UK economy has been highlighted in research conducted by Frontier Economics – one of the largest economic consultancies in Europe.

The findings also show how Guernsey's financial services expertise is aligned with several UK policy priorities such as the transition to net zero, infrastructure funding and regional investment.

Key findings

  • Guernsey-based funds channel significant investment into the UK economy, and currently hold UK assets worth £57 billion.
  • Guernsey-based funds' capital investment into UK assets has increased by 14% per year since 2020. The value of this investment should not be understated as total Foreign Direct Investment into the UK is falling.
