Tuesday 04 June 2019

Jersey has been crowned ‘Best International Finance Centre’ at the annual WealthBriefingAsia Awards for the second year in a row.

The awards, now in their seventh year, recognise jurisdictions, companies and individuals across the global private banking, wealth management and trusted advisor communities.

The panel of judges noted that the recent legislative changes introduced in the island, which they said have further enhanced its reputation for "global philanthropy, private wealth and investment activity," as well as the "great strides" made in defining Jersey's ambitions within the fintech sector.

Jersey’s success at this year’s awards coincides with Jersey Finance celebrating the 10-year anniversary of the opening of its Hong Kong office in November. 

Joe Moynihan, Chief Executive of Jersey Finance, commented: “We have had a long and positive history in Asia, successfully promoting Jersey’s credibility as a leading IFC in Greater China since 2005. This award, along with the 10-year anniversary of our Hong Kong office, is testament to the Island’s ongoing commitment to supporting the current and future needs of investors in the region.”
