Ben Hill, Managing Director of Ocorian in Guernsey, recaps the
key discussion points from the second day of We Are Guernsey's
Guernsey Funds Forum Webinar.
For those looking for signs of optimism in what has been a
troubling 2020 for many, the past week has been one to
forget – surging coronavirus cases have prompted
fresh lockdowns across the world; there
were fatal terror attacks in
Vienna; and somewhat more predictably, there has
been chaos and confusion in the form of the US
election.
In a world where the only certainty is
uncertainty, core values are a welcome constant
for fund managers and their investors.
It was fitting then, that the panel on day two of
this week's Guernsey Funds Forum
Webinar praised Guernsey's strong set of guiding
principles. It is a jurisdiction underpinned by a
strong legal
system, a robust regulatory framework and
a body of experience and expertise
accumulated across many professional
sectors and numerous decades.
