Autumn Seminar Series
SEMINAR 2

Tuesday 28th September

Title: Funds: First Impressions Last

Guernsey faces tough challenges from the specialist financial centres that it competes with.  In the current climate of increased regulatory scrutiny there is a risk to all jurisdictions of leaving fund promoters with a bad experience - an impression that can often last a lifetime.  It is important to ensure that Guernsey doesn't make this mistake.  This session is aimed at identifying the areas where Guernsey is at risk of leaving these difficult to change impressions and proposing solutions to ensure our funds industry maintains its competitive edge. This discussion will be driven by a panel of experts with industry views and inside knowledge of the international and local finance sectors.  
Speakers:
Sean Donovan-Smith - Speechly Bircham
Patrick Firth - Guernsey Investment Fund Association (GIFA).
