a safe, secure environment for private wealth CERTAINTY IN AN UNCERTAIN WORLD Against the current backdrop of new challenges arising from political uncertainty and unprecedented global change, Guernsey, as a Crown Dependency - a self-governing and self-funding jurisdiction - with more than 800 years of constitutional independence, can provide stability, certainty, and continuity.

POLITICAL AND ECONOMICAL STABILITY Guernsey is politically and economically stable. There are no political parties, ensuring no radical changes in policy. Standard & Poor’s have assigned Guernsey a credit rating of AAmeaning it has a “very strong” capacity to meet its financial commitments.

REPUTATION AND SUBSTANCE Jurisdictional reputation and substance are increasingly important for private wealth clients. Guernsey has a tradition of providing specialist private wealth management services as an international finance centre for more than 50 years, and therefore has the breadth and depth of expertise across the whole spectrum of financial services to demonstrate substance. Additionally, Guernsey is “whitelisted” by the OECD and is compliant with 48/49 Financial Action Task Force (FATFA) recommendations.

TAX NEUTRALITY Guernsey’s legislature determines local laws, including those relating to taxation. Guernsey offers a tax neutral regime with a zero rate of tax for corporate entities, no capital or inheritance taxes.
