What does the future hold in store for Guernsey? Guernsey Finance's Kate Clouston paints pfm a bright picture

Guernsey's reputation as a leading funds domicile has been reinforced by findings in a recent report published by KPMG.

The report, International Capital Flows, reveals the extent to which Guernsey's funds industry facilitates the flow of capital globally, including £105 billion of investment in Europe – 49 percent of which originates from investors located outside Europe itself. Guernsey is highlighted as an integral conduit facilitating the raising of capital from investors in different countries, subsequently allowing for the redeployment of this capital into global assets. The report also emphasizes the fact that global investors are comfortable utilizing Guernsey structures, in large part due to the island's reputation, regulatory track record and high standards of transparency.
