A greater focus on diversification among 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.
Craig Cordle, partner at law firm Ogier, 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, 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.
