Guernsey Office In Hong Kong Will Help Fund Managers Access Europe

A Guernsey investment funds expert who spent five years working in the Far East has welcomed the opening of Guernsey's representative office in Hong Kong.

Julian Carey, Head of Client Services at Orangefield Legis, said that Guernsey is highly regarded by the Asian financial services market. It will be particularly attractive to fund managers who want to access the UK and European markets via Guernsey fund structures.

"Institutional investors and family offices in the region like the image of Guernsey. It's well regulated, well organised, well supported," he said.

"Both Hong Kong and Singapore offer a great market for Guernsey financial services businesses. Both are targeted by funds investing from the UK and Europe into the Far East and also have Far Eastern managers who want to access the UK and European markets via Guernsey fund structures."
