Investment

Profile by jurisdiction

This page provides a gateway to the investment profile data for each of the jurisdictions

inv Investment opportunities in international financial centres are not only restricted to the financial services sector or financial services products. Each jurisdiction offers a range of investment incentives – not least – taxable benefits in designated market sectors.

A limited number of jurisdictions offer citizenship programmes which entitle the holder to an investment gateway to the country. Most jurisdictions have one or more investment agencies or government departments.

These guide the potential investor – either individual or corporate – to the nature of the opportunities and how to gain access to them. The BusinessIFC investment section in each jurisdiction provides:

An investment overview which outlines the nature of investment opportunities
A corporate investment section which examines investments which may be appropriate for companies
A personal investment section which examines vehicles which may be suitable for individual or family investors
A guide to agencies in the jurisdiction
A list of investment intermediaries
