Innovative and flexible private wealth solutions from Jersey

Jersey has a long history of supporting the private wealth structuring requirements of high-net-worth investors and ultra-high net worth families in the GCC. Our IFC’s reputation for quality is built on more than 60 years’ experience in the financial services sector, robust regulatory and legislative regimes, a Shari’a-compliant offering and a 14,000-strong specialist workforce.

When Jersey became the first IFC to have an office within Dubai’s economic zone (DIFC), it put the jurisdiction in a perfect position to support the increasingly complex private wealth needs of business and families in the Gulf region. Our range of private wealth solutions offers peace of mind for Gulf families seeking to preserve and protect their wealth for future generations.
