The Cayman Islands is the leading jurisdiction of international hedge funds, the second largest domicile in the world for captives and a leading jurisdiction for banking, trusts, capital markets and fiduciary services. At the end of the second quarter of 2016, the number of active companies on the Cayman Islands company register exceeded 100,000. While other jurisdictions have been challenged the strength of the company register, along with the overall growth across the industry, demonstrates the confidence clients have in the Cayman Islands.

The Cayman Islands is a British overseas territory that has maintained a very stable economic and political climate throughout its history. The country has its own democratically elected Parliament, which has consistently maintained responsibility for domestic affairs including fiscal matters. Cayman also operates its own judicial system, including a separate division within the Grand Court to deal with commercial disputes, which is based on English common law principles. The Cayman Islands Government prudently manages its affairs and operates with a budget surplus.

The Cayman Islands enables parties from around the world who are domiciled in countries that may have differing laws, regulations, tax structures and customs to benefit from doing business with each other using Cayman as an efficient and effective global financial hub.
