This month, Business Development Consultant – Asia, Maria McDermott, hosted her first in-region events of the year: one in Hong Kong SAR co-hosted by Praxis, and another in Shanghai co-hosted by TMF Group.

 

Thursday 14 March 2024, Hong Kong SAR Jersey Trust Insights: Exploring Jersey Trust Advantages

Led by Maria McDermott, our Business Development Consultant – Asia, and Dan Toft, Director and Senior Executive Officer, UAE, at Praxis, this event focussed on Jersey’s trust structures, emphasising its robust legal framework for wealth preservation.

Attendees gained insights into the technicalities of trust management and the significance of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) investment considerations. The collaborative event showcased Jersey as a jurisdiction of choice for private wealth and highlighted its commitment to sustainable and responsible investing.

If you couldn’t make it to the event, you can still explore case studies from Praxis. These studies illustrate how various trust structures are tailored to meet the requirements of clients based in Asia.
