Cayman Islands

Cayman Islands Foundations

The Cayman Islands is a leading global financial centre, known for its stability, sophisticated legal framework, and tax neutrality. The Cayman Islands Foundation Companies Act offers a unique and flexible vehicle that combines the features of a traditional trust with the advantages of a corporate entity, making it a premier choice for international families and institutions for wealth structuring, succession planning, and philanthropic purposes.

A Cayman foundation company has a distinct legal personality and limited liability and can be structured to suit a wide range of objectives. This flexibility allows founders to retain a high degree of control and involvement in the foundation's management and investment strategy. The respected legal and regulatory environment of the Cayman Islands provides a secure and reliable framework for the long-term protection of assets.

We ensure that a foundation is established with clear, practical policies, meticulous documentation, and a robust operational structure that is ready for engagement with international banks and compliant with the highest standards of KYC and AML regulations, providing a credible and effective platform for wealth preservation.
