Jersey Finance has announced historian and co-host of ‘The Rest is Politics’ podcast, the Rt Hon Rory Stewart OBE, as its keynote speaker for this year’s private wealth flagship conference in London.
The former UK cabinet minister and diplomat will be detailing his experience of working in frontline politics and international development as well as offering his insights on how trust is earned and lost on the world stage.
He will be joined by a number of expert speakers at the half-day London event to be held at the Brewery on Tuesday 23 September.
Entitled ‘Reputation as a Strategy’, this year’s event will explore how wealth professionals and forward-thinking jurisdictions like Jersey are evolving to meet new expectations – using reputation not just to respond, but to stand out in a complex environment.
The event will also include an introduction from Joe Moynihan, Chief Executive Officer, Jersey Finance.
Commenting, Joe said: “With more than 60 years of experience, Jersey has built a strong reputation as a leading international finance centre, underpinned by high regulatory standards, a rigorous approach to compliance and a commitment to global cooperation. But the world we live in today is increasingly complex, fragmented and uncertain. Investors, families, businesses and governments are placing an ever-greater emphasis on trust. It’s critical as an industry that we are alive to just how important reputation is as part of a strategy to meet the evolving needs of investors and play a meaningful role in the future of global finance.
“To that end, I’m delighted to be welcoming the Rt Hon Rory Stewart OBE, whose insights from the international political stage will add a compelling dimension to what promises to be a packed agenda, featuring expert commentary from leading voices across the financial sector.”
