Governance "is a major priority"

Friday 30 April 2021

We Are Guernsey wants to address the view that governance is not a major priority, saying it should be seen as a core value.

We Are Guernsey has produced a guide to best practice for single and multiple-family offices.

The report can be accessed here. Guernsey has a long history of providing a range of well-used private wealth services to UHNW families from across the globe and is regarded as a centre of excellence for the establishment, administration and servicing of family offices and wider private wealth structures for more than half a century.

“Guernsey’s reputation for economic and political stability is well known in the arena of private wealth,” said We Are Guernsey Chief Executive Rupert Pleasant. “Guernsey provides sophisticated structuring solutions for individuals and their families, offering expert investment advice, which perfectly positions us as the jurisdiction of choice for family offices.

"We Are Guernsey has produced this guide to best practice as we are keen to address the view that governance is not a major priority. We believe that governance should be seen as a core value and that Guernsey is the natural choice for servicing and administration of a family office.”
