Jersey's Continuing Appeal To Institutional Investors

Europe Economics, an independent international research consultancy, has today published a report entitled "Jersey for Institutional investing: A clear choice".  The report sets out the reasons why institutional investors (in particular, tax exempt institutional investors such as pension funds, endowment funds and sovereign wealth funds) choose to invest in Jersey funds and structures and supports what those active in the industry have known for some time: that tax neutrality is an important but not sufficient reason for doing business in Jersey.  In summary, the main drivers are: 

1.     Jersey's stability and governance

2.     Jersey's proportionate regulatory regime catering in particular for professional investors
