The need for predictability, substance and an ability to deliver pragmatic solutions for cross-border structuring all formed the focus of discussions at Jersey Finance’s US Flagship Week last week.
The events programme across Miami and New York brought together senior professionals from the US and Jersey through a mix of curated roundtables, partnership events, panel discussions and networking receptions, with the aim of strengthening commercial links between Jersey and the US across funds, corporate services and private wealth.
In particular, two headline panel events, staged in Miami and New York, featured sessions entitled ‘The Predictability Dividend’, where panelists discussed why a regulatory environment that removes friction systematically is vital in deciding where capital locates in the current environment. The relationship between innovation in the context of the tokenisation of real-world assets and the stability demanded by institutional capital was also a key theme.
The panels were hosted by Jersey Finance’s Americas Lead Philip Pirecki, with speakers including Jill Britton, Director General of the Jersey Financial Services Commission; Sidley Partners Kate Lashley and Dan Spies; Walkers Partner Dilmun Leach; and Elliot Refson, Head of Funds at Jersey Finance. The week also featured a series of insightful private wealth discussions exploring the impact of geopolitics on international families, and funds-focussed sessions exploring the appetite for alternative investment in the US and asset-raising options.
Joe Moynihan, CEO of Jersey Finance, welcomed guests at the series of events. He said: “Our US Flagship Week was about creating practical, two-way dialogue with decision-makers – sharing insights, building relationships and demonstrating why Jersey continues to be a trusted partner for cross-border business.”
Philip Pirecki, Jersey Finance Americas Lead, added: “Our sessions in Miami and New York generated strong engagement and discussions on the need for predictability and well-understood solutions. The week created time and space for the kinds of conversations that move mandates forward.”
