Jersey's Evolving Partnership With African Continent Highlighted At Latest Roadshow Series

Jersey is continuing to embed its reputation for providing robust private wealth structures in Africa, and has the opportunity to diversify its offering and support a greater appetite for cross-border alternative investment amongst internationally-active African families.

That was the message at a series of recent events held recently by Jersey Finance in Kenya and South Africa, which formed part of a Jersey delegation visit to both countries led by Director of Business Development Allan Wood, and which also included a number of industry meetings.

The events entitled 'Jersey: A Valued Partnership' took place in Nairobi, Kenya, (3rd October) and Cape Town and Johannesburg, South Africa (9th and 13th November) and attracted a total of almost 250 members of the local advisory community, including wealth practitioners, lawyers, investment managers and other finance professionals. They built on a visit to and similar event in Nigeria earlier this year.
