Jersey Finance has embarked on a ramped-up programme of activity
in Asia this autumn, including launching an inaugural series of
Roadshow events in key markets across the Far and Middle
East.
The tailored series of breakfast and lunchtime events will feature
a number of expert speakers, including Richard Corrigan, Deputy CEO
of Jersey Finance, who will discuss current trends in the private
client, funds and capital markets spaces, the role of international
finance centres and how Jersey is stepping up to the plate in
delivering high quality solutions tailored to the changing needs of
the Asian marketplace.
Panels of speakers at each event will also explore topical issues
including regulation, transparency, and how Jersey structures are
being employed in an Asian context. There will also be
opportunities for questions from the audiences and
networking.
The Jersey Finance Asian Roadshows will start at the Conrad Hotel
in Hong Kong with a lunchtime private client event on 17th November
and a funds and capital markets breakfast event on Tuesday 18th
November, before moving on to the Grand Hyatt Hotel in Kuala Lumpur
for a breakfast event on 19th November. The Roadshow will then move
to Singapore's Marina Bay Sands on 20th November for a private
client breakfast event and a lunchtime event focusing on funds and
capital markets.
The Roadshow will then conclude in the United Arab Emirates on
26th November with a private client event at The Address Mall,
Dubai.
The Roadshows build on a busy schedule of activity for Jersey
Finance across the Asian markets in recent months. In October,
following the appointments of Yumei Zhang as Hong Kong-based
Business Development Director, Greater China, and Garry Zhao as
Project Manager at a new Launchpad office in Shanghai, Jersey
Finance held a media-roundtable in Hong Kong, hosted by Jersey
Finance's CEO Geoff Cook, to mark the fifth anniversary of
having a presence there.
In addition, Jersey Finance has sponsored and attended a variety
of high profile events recently to showcase its private client,
funds and capital markets strengths, including Super Return Hong
Kong in September, STEP Asia in Hong Kong in October and the 5th
International Capital Conference in Beijing in October, where Yumei
Zhang also gave a presentation to the large audience of Chinese and
European business professionals.
Richard Corrigan, Deputy-CEO, Jersey Finance, said:
"Having our new team in place across the Asian markets gives
us an incredibly strong platform to deliver our inaugural Jersey
Finance Asia Roadshow, which will give us a fantastic opportunity
to showcase Jersey's strengths, build stronger awareness of
Jersey and give us an opportunity to engage directly with our
valued contacts in Hong Kong, Kuala Lumpur, Singapore and
Dubai.
"We are seeing growth in Jersey's private client, funds
and corporate sectors right across the markets in the Far East and
the Gulf region, so it's important that we maintain a high
level of visibility in these markets. Particularly as outbound and
inbound Asian investments become more and more sophisticated, for
instance, we are seeing real interest in Jersey for the listing of
equity and dim sum bonds, for the structuring of offshore renminbi
products, and for structuring property investments in the UK.
Jersey's Islamic Finance capabilities are being drawn on
increasingly by clients in the Middle East too."
