The Cayman Islands is one of the world's leading international
financial centres providing institutionally focused, specialised
financial services.
The success of the Cayman Islands' financial services industry
is founded on an effective regulatory regime, political and
economic stability, and a tax neutral platform. Institutions and
arrangers doing business in the Cayman Islands also benefit from
top quality and highly experienced service providers.
The Cayman Islands currently ranks fifth internationally in
terms of value of liabilities booked in the Cayman Islands and
sixth in terms of assets booked. Forty of the world's 50 largest
banks have branches in the Cayman Islands. Cayman is a preferred
jurisdiction for the structuring and domiciling of investment
funds, captive insurance and structured finance vehicles.
More than 9,500 open-ended funds are registered with the Cayman
Islands Monetary Authority. In addition, a very substantial number
of closed-ended and debt-only funds are domiciled in Cayman. Cayman
is the second largest captive domicile in the world with more than
700 captives, writing more than US$7.7 billion of premiums and with
US$36.8 billion of assets under management.
Cayman's regulatory and transparency standards are amongst the
best in the world. As a member of the International Organisation of
Securities Commissions (IOSCO), Cayman has full
"regulator-to-regulator" disclosure with all IOSCO regulators. The
Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) has
placed the Cayman Islands on its 'white list' of jurisdictions that
substantially implement international tax standards.
Highly ranked in all leading directories, and the recipient of
numerous industry awards and accolades, Mourant Ozannes is
