Dear Offshore Adviser,
Recently, Jersey has received almost overwhelming
praise in a new report from the International Monetary
Fund entitled: ‘The Financial System Stability
Assessment Update’. In light of this, some are even
commenting that the jurisdiction is now safer than
onshore UK.
However, this does not mean that business will get easier
for advisers as there are a number of uncertainties for
the private client sector including:
•• OOEECCDD ppootteennttiiaall rruulleess oonn ttrraannssppaarreennccyy

•• IInnccrreeaassiinngg nnuummbbeerr ooff TTaaxx IInnffoorrmmaattiioonn EExxcchhaannggee
AAggrreeeemmeennttss ((TTIIEEAAss))
Hence, IBC Conferences and I have been working closely
to bring you this unique outlook on the current state of
play in the trusts industry.
Special consideration will be given to international clients
from continental Europe and the growing wealth from the
East including HHoonngg KKoonngg,, SSiinnggaappoorree and RRuussssiiaa.
The speakers and I look forward to welcoming you to the
conference in March 2010.
Kind regards,
Richard Pease, Counsel
