Wealth Protection in a Stable Environment
Guernsey's constitution was established in 1204 and has been largely unchanged since then. Although we pledge allegiance to the Crown we are not obliged to adopt any UK laws or accept external governance. These facts have established Guernsey as one of the most politically stable and secure jurisdictions in the world. Our currency is currently sterling however if the UK does at some point in the future adopt the EURO then it is up to Guernsey to decide whether to follow suit or choose an alternative world currency.
For clients wishing to ensure that their assets are in safe hands then there is no better place than Guernsey. Our financial services sector has been expanding since the late 1970's and has developed into a mature, well experienced industry. Our core services throughout this time have been the provision of offshore trusts and companies. Trusts can be used in many ways and they date back to the times of the crusades. When knights left England they entrusted their estates to close friends (trustees) who then looked after their assets, ensured that their family (beneficiaries) were looked after and maintained the estate in good order for their return.
This is precisely how trusts work to this day and we are happy to look after your assets for you. With guidance and after discussion with you we can invest a trust fund in virtually any type of asset. Specific details of trusts and companies follow:
