Guernsey is becoming recognised as a hub for servicing the financial aspects of clean technology (cleantech), including renewable energy. In particular, the Island can provide the infrastructure and expertise for investment, including the use of fund structures and listings on stock exchanges, says Fiona Le Poidevin, Deputy Chief Executive of Guernsey Finance.

Distinguishing features of Guernsey's 50-year old finance industry include its breadth and the ability to take the lead and build up expertise in providing niche products or services, such as captive insurance, private equity and infrastructure funds.
