Guernsey’s Trust Sector Eyes Opportunities In The Emerging Markets

Debate at a recent trusts forum in Guernsey has highlighted how the local trust sector is increasingly keen to explore opportunities in the emerging markets, according to Peter Niven, Chief Executive of Guernsey Finance.

Speaking at the event titled, The Future of Trusts – Guernsey, both Michael Betley, Managing Director of Trust Corporation of the Channel Islands and Paul Hodgson, Managing Director of Butterfield Trust in Guernsey, highlighted the importance of looking further afield to the emerging markets for new business going forward.

"The comments from these leading fiduciary professionals locally are a significant endorsement of the work that Guernsey Finance has been leading in the emerging markets," said Mr Niven.
