If you’re a regular HedgeWeek reader, you probably already know that the Cayman Islands is the world’s number one domicile for alternative investment funds.
At Cayman Finance, it’s our job to help ensure it stays that way.
As we mark the 20th year since our founding in 2003, we’re excited to be relaunching the Cayman Finance brand, expanding our team, and inviting you, the valued users of our jurisdiction, to become more involved. It’s all part of what we’re calling Cayman Finance 2.0.
With the support of the Cayman Islands Ministry of Financial Services and a Board of Directors comprising representatives of the islands’ top financial services firms, our new mandate has four strategic pillars.
The first is Promotion. Like any successful brand, the Cayman Islands needs an effective sales and marketing team to articulate its value proposition. We’re proud to be the standard bearer for the global leader in investment fund services.
But we know all too well that even the best sales and marketing team cannot succeed without a world class product. That’s why our second strategic pillar is Product Development. That is, a focus on the end-to-end user experience with a view to eliminating the bugs that frustrate our clients and introducing new features that help them to thrive.
Responding to the slights and slanders of journalists and interest groups who mean well but misunderstand or mischaracterise the jurisdiction’s role in the global financial system, falls under our third pillar of Protection.
Our fourth pillar is Community Engagement. But last is by no means least; indeed, it is foundational. For the Cayman Islands to go from strength to strength requires the investment and support of our government and the public our government represents. Our Community Engagement efforts help to make sure that through the philanthropy and talent development programs of our members, our success as a financial center is reflected in the success of our citizens.
For we must always remember that the Cayman Islands’ dominance in alternative investments didn’t come about by chance, but through a combination of smart and effective regulation, a reliable common law judicial system and above all, a phalanx of word class service providers. Investment in talent is not a by-product of our success, but the main driver of it.
How can you become involved? If you’re not already a member of Cayman Finance, reach out to the team today to find out how you can become one. As a member, you’ll receive industry and community updates as well as an invitation to exclusive member events like our recent New York breakfast briefing. We’d love to hear your comments and ideas for how we can continue to excel as a jurisdiction.
Whether you are an investment manager, lawyer, accountant, analyst, or other service provider, on behalf of the entire team at Cayman Finance, we look forward to meeting you, working with you and helping you and the organizations you represent grow and thrive for many years to come.
