Funds Masterclass To Explore ‘Second Age Of Discovery'

Delegates at the upcoming Guernsey Funds Masterclass in London will hear of the opportunities that will exist for the UK in the future despite the current Brexit-fuelled uncertainty.

As divorce negotiations continue, it looks increasingly likely that the UK will be outside the EU trading block after the separation, which in turn could lead to increased trade barriers and reduced access to financial services between the two.

This uncertainty means the UK will undoubtedly be looking further afield for future investment opportunities and will have to reassess its place in the world as a non-EU jurisdiction.

Having to look outwards has inspired 'The second age of discovery' theme for the event on Thursday 8 February, with a particular focus on the non-EU distribution of investment funds, according to Guernsey Finance Chief Executive Dominic Wheatley.
