Save the date for the Guernsey Funds Forum 2026: The Next Trillion. Reflecting the £1 trillion in assets that Guernsey oversees, this flagship event will offer an insight into why Guernsey is globally recognised as a premier funds jurisdiction.

Guernsey Finance is delighted to welcome Dr Jo Salter MBE, former Director of Global Transformative Leadership at PwC, as keynote speaker for the event.

As the UK's first ever female fast jet pilot, Jo's career has always combined technical skill and resilience with trailblazing leadership. Jo, an accomplished author, has been named one of Harpers & Queen's 50 Most Inspiring Women in the World.

Her address promises to be an inspiring session, as she shares insights and compelling stories on resilience, leadership, and navigating change.

The event will also feature two panel sessions – the first, titled "Flexible fund structuring", will explore the relevance of Guernsey’s different fund structures, showcasing how the island’s agility and broad expertise support innovative approaches, including those used by emerging and first‑time fund managers.

The second panel, "Guernsey: the gateway to private capital", will provide an overview of Guernsey’s position in today’s global private capital landscape, discussing current global regulations and investment sources.

Representing an internationally recognised centre for fund domiciliation and investment management, Guernsey practitioners are perfectly placed to host these discussions.
