Investment Portfolios

Confidentiality and privacy are often integral to risk management planning. Our clients seek confidentiality in their affairs to legitimately protect their assets.

In selecting banks clients naturally consider service, credit worthiness, reliability and competence. Banking confidentiality is best assessed through consideration of a bank’s physical localisation and a bank’s corporate structure.

In common law offshore banking jurisdictions confidentiality normally arises through four circumstances:

• Specific laws or regulations designed to enshrine banking confidentiality.
• By special relationship that exists between a clients and their professional advisers.
• In an express contract.
• By virtue of the law of tort, whereby, for example, valuable information with commercial value is protected against unjustiable use.
