‘India and Jersey – the Opportunities’

The event provided an opportunity to meet and network with a diverse range of industry leaders and senior professionals in the world of finance from both Jersey and Gurgaon whilst also providing a technical summary of Jersey’s expertise and its relevance to the Indian market together with an overview of the high standards of its regulatory regime.

Topics covered included:

Jersey, Open for Business
Senator Philip Ozouf, Treasury Minister, States of Jersey
Jersey is an ideal place for international businesses to invest, grow and prosper. Our neutral tax regime, strong economy, highly skilled workforce and proximity to the UK and Europe position us well for conducting international business. What opportunities exist for Indian companies?

The Strategic Choice
Geoff Cook, Chief Executive, Jersey Finance Limited
Jersey has been recognised by many international bodies, including the G7 Financial Stability Forum and the IMF, as being one of the top finance centres in the supervision and regulation of financial services. With such recognised high standards of regulation and transparency, Jersey is the strategic choice in offshore centres.

Foundations and Wealth Preservation for Private Clients
Mike de Figueirdo, Private Client Director, RBC Wealth Management
Our new vehicle, the Foundation, can be  very effective in succession planning and private wealth management strategies for high net worth families and non-resident Indians. How does it work?

Investing in UK Residential Property
Kathy Gillen, Partner, Moore Stephens Jersey
Camilla Dell, Director, Black Brick Property Solutions
Indians are taking advantage of lower property prices and weakened sterling to purchase property in the UK, particularly London. How can Jersey help to facilitate this?

Jersey Vehicles as Conduits for Indian Inbound and International Investment
James Ruane, Partner and Head of Corporate and Banking Team, Mourant
India’s growth in recent years has led to great interest from external investors wishing to invest in India and also Indian businesses wishing to expand internationally. Jersey vehicles have a role to play in both Indian inbound and international investment.
