Introduction With money leaving offshore centers in the billions, understanding the nature of offshore clients and what strategies to employ to attract and retain them has become absolutely critical, not just for offshore bankers but also for their onshore competitors. Scope *This report draws on the findings of the Offshore Banks Survey 2010. *ducted in February/March 2010 among banks in Jersey, Guernsey, the Isle of Man, Switzerland, Hong Kong and Singapore. Highlights Out of all offshore clients by assets under management, 69% are from Western Europe, and 57% of these are from the UK. The most important reason that British offshore clients choose to bank in the islands is because they get a more personalized service compared with onshore banking. The average offshore client has 37% of his holdings in cash and near-cash, and this is expected to fall to 32% in two years' time. Reasons to Purchase *Understand the nature of Guernsey's offshore client base. *Gain insight into the future needs of offshore clients. *Access strategies for success in the marketplace.
