A specialist delegation comprising Rupert Pleasant, Chief Executive of Guernsey Finance, Grant McLeod, Guernsey Finance South Africa Representative, and Lauren Ker, Managing Director at Clermont Trust, will hold a series of meetings with tax advisers, bankers, local wealth managers and intermediaries. 

The delegation will be on hand to discuss how Guernsey’s extensive trust and company industry offers solutions for all types of clients, with industry leading and innovative products such as purpose trusts, the third route to the private investment fund, and Guernsey foundations.  

Guernsey’s breadth and depth of products and services offer the new generation of HNW’s many options for high level financial planning and asset management. The island also boasts a long history of financing philanthropy and the transition to net zero, allowing clients to fully explore how their wealth can be used for a positive impact in the world.
