Guernsey Finance Chief Executive Dominic
Wheatley writes in WealthBriefing's IFC World 2017 about
Guernsey's advancements in the finance sector over the past
year.
Guernsey's financial services sector has continued to thrive
and develop over the past 12 months. This is particularly the case
in the island's funds sector where Guernsey has once again been
confirmed as the global finance industry's number one choice
for non-UK entities listed on the London Stock Exchange
(LSE).
LSE data shows that there were 124 Guernsey-incorporated
entities listed on the Main Market and AIM at the end of 2016,
which is more than 40 ahead of its nearest competitor, and
reaffirms the high regard in which Guernsey is held by
professional advisers in the City of London and beyond. In
total, Guernsey added nine new entities to the LSE markets during
2016, which is the same number as its two nearest competitors
combined, excluding the UK.
