Speaking at the recent Jersey Pensions Association conference, Bedell Cristin's Nancy Chien highlighted the need for pension regulation in Jersey.

As chairman of the Jersey Pensions Association (JPA), Nancy and the committee hosted the inaugural conference to debate pensions issues and raise awareness of the importance of pension planning at governmental level.

QROPS (Qualifying Overseas Recognised Pension Schemes) were a hot topic, having been available to non-Jersey residents since January 2015. The most recent States review updated the law to allow both local and international pension arrangements. 'By treating non-residents in the same way as residents, it has opened up opportunities for QROPS, which is exciting for Jersey,' Nancy commented during her speech.
