A greater focus on diversification amongst private investors
combined with an industry that is bringing private assets such as
private equity and real estate increasingly into the mainstream is
prompting an uptick in private capital structuring, and Ogier
partner Craig Cordle believes Guernsey is well-placed to capitalise
on this trend.
With global personal financial wealth growing by 12% in 2017 to
break through the $200 trillion barrier (Boston Consulting Group,
Global Wealth Report 2018) and as private investors and family
offices have grappled with volatile equity and bond markets, a
rising number of fund managers have in recent years looked to bring
specialist private asset investment opportunities that have
traditionally been the domain of institutional investors to the
wholesale market.
