Jersey

Jersey has fewer life offices based on the island than other offshore jurisdictions but has a long-established reputation in banking and investment funds. A Crown Dependency like its smaller Channel Island sister, Guernsey, it has been described by the Economist magazine as a ‘sophisticated, well run financial centre with expertise in certain niches such as insurance or structured finance.’ Politically and fiscally stable, the island has a comprehensive infrastructure of laws and regulations which combine to promote investor confidence.
