BDO (Guernsey) Director Steve Desmond explains that
structuring through Guernsey works for a range of investment
vehicles, which can be attractive for Asian
business.
Guernsey does provide a truly global offering for structuring
investment products.
We have seen the appeal of the Guernsey insurance market in Asia
with the development of a Chinese commercial reinsurance company in
the island and continued growth in captives. The island was also
named the best Non-Asian Domicile at the 2018 Asia Captive Review
Awards.
In the investment sectors, there is still work to be done to
promote the benefits of choosing Guernsey to domicile investment
companies. But it is a proven path already taken by many
international private equity managers such as Permira, Apax
Partners, Cinven, Macquarie, Partners Group and Inflexion.
