A Year Of Potential

Paul Smith, chairman of the Guernsey Investment Fund Association, says that after another successful year in 2017, 2018 is shaping up to be a year of great potential for Guernsey funds sector.

As statistics for Guernsey's funds sector for 2017 are confirmed with a positive 5.6% growth over the year, I am sensing a positive mood in the Guernsey industry for 2018.

In challenging times for financial services, as an industry we have continued to experience steady growth over the past three years now.

The statistics reinforce our view that Guernsey is a strong and stable location to develop international fund business, and demonstrate that Guernsey is still 'up there' as a leading global funds jurisdiction.
