Cayman Islands Wooing International Investors

“Leading institutional investors are engaged in a flight to quality, moving away from other jurisdictions and investing in the Cayman Islands in growing numbers because we have a strong, diversified financial services industry supported by high standards, a robust legal system and excellence in service,” stated Cayman Finance CEO Jude Scott in a press release detailing the positive news.

Of course, one reason investors are so attracted to the Cayman Islands is the jurisdiction’s favourable legal and regulatory regimes, which make it an ideal and neutral centre for investors who might otherwise be restricted by unwelcome taxes, regulations and customs.

Those who take advantage of financial services in the Cayman Islands, such as those offered by Blacktower Financial Management, are able to access a whole raft of vehicles and sectors – for example, Cayman Islands-based investment portfolios, insurance, trusts, pension transfer opportunities, banking services and insurance products.

Furthermore, because of its commitment to transparency and international cooperation, investors in the Cayman Islands can be assured of a world-class level of regulation and investor assurance.

One area that the OTS has earmarked for examination involves the rules relating to pension transfers made within two years of a person’s death. Such transfers can result in the deceased person’s remaining defined contribution pot being subject to 40 per cent inheritance tax unless the estate can prove to HMRC that the pension transfer was made without the intention to deliver gratuitous benefit.

To Brexit or not to Brexit, that is the question

400 years of Shakespeare and we are still pondering over the question! 

I recently returned from London – more specifically the City of London – and was rather surprised to find out that the financial ‘experts’ were still in a state of flux, arguing over the theoretical economical fall out, on the day after of the fast approaching in/out referendum. I came to the conclusion, after pouring through reams of editorial columns from “would be” financial gurus, that the prognosis relating to the likely impact on the FTSE100 on the 24th of June – the day after – was that the general consensus converged on a simple equation; if the in campaign wins the day, there would be an immediate 5% appreciation. Conversely, if the out campaign has it, the FTSE100 would suffer a dramatic 10% loss.
