Jersey Finance promotes wealth management in the UK due to regulatory changes

Posted: 04 April 2008

Jersey Finance is hosting a series events in the UK to promote the Industry's trust and wealth management services in anticipation of changes to the UK tax code. It is also intended to showcase the Island's fund services in Edinburgh as part of a programme of events designed to raise the Island's profile in key markets.

Trust and wealth management seminars are planned for Manchester and Leeds in March and Birmingham in June, whilst Jersey Finance's annual conference for the Trusts industry will take place in London.

Geoff Cook, Chief Executive, Jersey Finance commented: "With changes to the tax and domiciles rules in the UK, it's a particularly important year to be visiting the UK and talking to finance professionals in the trust sector and other advisers about Jersey's financial services industry."

In addition to a fact finding visit to India by Geoff Cook this month, Jersey Finance plans to host an Industry delegation return visit to China in April, including in the itinerary, receptions in Hong Kong and Shanghai.

Geoff Cook added: "Our marketing strategy will continue to focus on our key objective of positioning Jersey as a high quality, sophisticated, innovative and influential jurisdiction.

But rather than large scale events in the key international finance centres on an annual basis, we intend to introduce more frequent visits to the leading commercial regions of the world, which will enable us to engage on a more regular basis with the key business introducers, advisers and international investors who might benefit from using Jersey."
