Jersey - A tradition of Excellence in Financial Services

Jersey is the largest of the Channel Islands which are situated in the English Channel just a few miles from the French coast. The Channel Islands are not part of the United Kingdom but are a part of the British Isles which gives them a unique constitutional link, but one that offers complete financial and fiscal independence. Jersey is neither represented in the United Kingdom Parliament nor involved with, or subject to, the judicial and administrative systems of the United Kingdom.


Elizabeth Castle, Jersey

The Channel Islands have a sophisticated financial and trust industry, which in Jersey represents 43% of the island's economy and employs over 10,000 people - 20% of the island's workforce. Jersey welcomes quality business from clients all over the world but maintains strict safeguards in order to protect its excellent reputation. Recent legislation has been introduced to further reinforce Jersey's position.

All financial institutions are regulated and supervised in Jersey by the Government's Finance and Economics Committee. Supervision is implemented by the Jersey Financial Services Commission which exerts close control over all financial institutions and trust companies.

Why choose a Jersey Trust?

Read the article in Business Brief (December 2005) by Jonathan Ferrara, executive director, head of UBS Trust Business.

There are many types of trusts, which we can provide further information and advice on as necessary. However, the most widely used form of trust is the Discretionary Trust. Although not always possible, we prefer to meet you personally prior to entering into a client relationship in order to discuss your particular objectives in order for us to provide a tailor made structure for you.
