Featured alongside the Cayman Islands and Guernsey, Jersey has been identified in the top echelon in Citywealth’s annual ‘Leaders List 2008’ research.

The research involved numerous confidential interviews and recommendations from top-tier lawyers, accountants, trustees, private bankers, investment managers, senior representatives from family offices and other professionals involved in advising the world’s wealthiest clients.

Citywealth, which publishes a subscription only newsletter each week, produces its Leaders List annually, a unique guide to key advisers and wealth managers.

Beverley Le Cuirot, Director of Marketing at Jersey Finance, commented on the recommendation that:

"This is important recognition in London from a publication with an influential circulation in the private client marketplace. Jersey was mentioned repeatedly by these advisers and other wealth professionals as one of the three top financial centres, ahead of many other competitor jurisdictions, and we are delighted that the Island has achieved such recognition in a hugely competitive arena."

Jersey’s success will be recognised at CityWealth’s annual ‘Magic Circle Awards’ which take place in London on 8th May, 2008.
