Value of Guernsey's Financial Services to the UK

This report from Frontier Economics, commissioned by Guernsey Finance, presents a compelling case for Guernsey’s financial services industry as a major contributor to the UK economy. With more than £57 billion in capital flowing into the UK on an ongoing basis, Guernsey’s funds, insurance, pensions, and private wealth sectors are driving investment aligned with UK policy priorities, from net zero and infrastructure to regional development. 

The literature highlights how Guernsey’s expertise and regulatory stability enable UK fund managers to generate £2 billion in annual fees, while FTSE 100 firms benefit from cost-effective captive insurance solutions. Guernsey’s international pensions also deliver £30 million annually to UK professional services. 

This publication is essential for policymakers, financial professionals, and investors seeking to understand how Guernsey’s globally connected, innovation-driven financial services sector supports UK growth, competitiveness, and resilience.
