The Cayman Model demonstrates how a jurisdiction can make a leading contribution to fighting global financial crime, protecting itself and strengthening the global economy in the process.

The Cayman Model combines multilateral cooperation with individual jurisdictional leadership and it extends across seven key areas.

The Cayman Model not only helps to define our jurisdiction as a responsible financial centre, it has earned us a place among the leading international financial centres and G20 countries who adhere to the highest globally implemented standards for combatting financial crime.

The Cayman Islands is the home to a significant proportion of the world’s alternative investment funds, including infrastructure funds and venture capital funds.

Because of this the Cayman Islands is well positioned, much as we did after the global credit crisis, to provide inward investing, financing, and liquidity into economies during times of need or uncertainty, including strengthening after recessions and embracing the evolutions in global trade.

This inward investing, financing, and liquidity helps save or grow business, create jobs, and expand the tax base. At the same time, the Cayman Islands upholds the same global standards as the G20 countries do.

Parties from different countries who have different laws, regulations, tax rules, and customs are able to do business with each other in a trusted and efficient neutral jurisdiction.

Using a neutral jurisdiction like Cayman, no party is at a disadvantage of being subjected to another party’s laws, regulations, tax rules or customs.
