Cayman Funds Jobs
The Financial Services industry in the Cayman Islands has been a key global player for decades and the market continues to grow.
Over nearly three decades, the Cayman Islands has become a pre-eminent jurisdiction for the formation of alternative investment funds, with around 12,000 regulated open-ended funds and 12,000 regulated closed-ended funds. The reasons for island’s popularity in the funds space includes areas such as its tax neutrality, its geographical location (close proximity to the U.S.) as well as the jurisdiction’s appeal as a stable British dependency with an exemplary judicial system (underpinned by English common law). It is also important to note that the islands funds legislation and regulatory regime have consistently been modernized to meet market & legal demands.
