Opportunities and challenges for offshore funding vehicles in Commonwealth jurisdictions

About the Event

More than half of global investments and assets are held in offshore jurisdictions. Commonwealth member states and associated territories such as the UK, Singapore, Canada, Cayman Islands and the British Virgin Islands are amongst the best and most well-known finance centres and jurisdictions for offshore funding vehicles. One of the overarching reasons behind the success of Commonwealth member states as financial institutions is due to their shared culture, history, and most importantly, their legal systems which are predominantly based on common law.

Offshore funding vehicles provide many benefits including tax advantages, asset protection and confidentiality. However, over time greater legal regulations and growing costs have cast doubt over their use and such drawbacks have begun to dissuade investors.

To discuss the advantages and pitfalls of offshore funding vehicles, and what can be expected of their future relevance and performance, we invite Peter Vas to share with us his experience working with Commonwealth offshore financial centers and offshore corporate law firms.
