Europe’s Leading Jurisdiction

Originally published as sponsored editorial in Captive Review, December-January 2007-2008

2007 was always going to be a landmark year for Guernsey as a captive insurance domicile: it represents 21 years since the Island put in place its robust yet pragmatic regulatory framework for captives and the tenth anniversary of when the jurisdiction introduced the Protected Cell Company (PCC) to the world. Beyond these milestones, the year has also proved particularly significant in terms of the continued growth in the Islands captive insurance industry, the substantial promotion of the sector and enhancements to the Islands captive infrastructure. Guernsey is far from resting on its laurels.
