For the first time ever, Guernsey Finance, the promotional agency for the island's finance industry, will be pitching Guernsey’s expertise in the investment fund and private wealth sectors in Singapore early next month.
The Singapore event is the latest initiative to coincide with Guernsey Finance’s increased focus on the South East Asia region, which included the opening of its Hong Kong office in March 2016, as finews.asia reported.
The free-to-attend seminar, which takes place at the Credit Suisse Wealth Institute, One Raffles Link on 7 November, is the first ever event Guernsey Finance will host in Singapore and will feature presentations from leading offshore lawyers, Leon Santos of Collas Crill and Russell Clark of Carey Olsen.
Hosting a Chinese Family Office
The Hong Kong office is also utilised by the Guernsey Financial Services Commission (GFSC) to provide regulatory advice to those in the South East Asia region who might be considering Guernsey-specific ventures.
Guernsey Finance has been upping its collaboration with Asian entities and recently hosted a Chinese family office delegation in Guernsey. A delegation from the Shanghai-based Griffin Plutus Family Office completed a bespoke fiduciary qualification while on a week-long trip to Guernsey to meet with service providers from the island.
