Gone are the days when managing wealth effectively meant finding the most secretive and lowest-tax jurisdiction with ironclad asset protection. Rather today, one has to carefully consider the reputation of the jurisdiction.
This timely compilation seeks to answer this question authoritatively by offering a well-informed examination of 46 jurisdictions around the world.
The contributors are practitioners, regulators and other experts who have reviewed the legislation and business opportunities in these jurisdictions. Each chapter features a jurisdiction by giving a general introduction and an overview of the political, socioeconomic environment and the legislation affecting offshore and trust operations.
The book explores a total of 46 jurisdictions around the world including Bermuda, Delaware, Hong Kong, Jersey, Australia, Singapore, Mauritius, Ras Al-Khaimah, Switzerland, United Kingdom and even Botswana, just to name a few. The chapters all have the same format for ease of comparing and contrasting the different jurisdictions.
