Mingle with investors interested in the Cayman Islands; special discounted conference rates available for Cayman firms and residents

The Grand Cayman Liberty Forum with a focus on protecting wealth and freedom is scheduled November 16-19 at the Grand Cayman Marriott, and some of the smartest minds in wealth accumulation, asset protection and risk diversification will be on hand to discuss and debate today’s global financial issues and reveal insider viewpoints on alternative investment options and challenges. Conference organizers are extending a special invitation to local firms in Cayman’s financial services industry and Cayman residents, offering a discounted rate for attendance.

Forum Producer Pete DiOrio emphasizes that because Cayman is considered by many to be the world’s #1 international financial centre, this recognition can be an integral part of the risk diversification strategy of “planting flags” in multiple jurisdictions, such as banking in one jurisdiction, residency in another, business registration in yet another, and even IP assets registered in another jurisdiction. This strategy presents multiple opportunities for local financial service providers.

“The idea being to reduce dependence on any one country and to make it very difficult for any one country to control one’s destiny,” he said. “In advising clients, local professionals need broad awareness of opportunities for diversifying assets in currencies, metals, and property, both locally and in other favorable jurisdictions.”

Forum topics range from the future of key political economies to specific investment and asset protection opportunities. Asset classes of particular focus will include currencies, rare and precious metals, resource investments, lifestyle options and income opportunities, plus jurisdictional diversification. Speakers include Doug Casey, Terry Coxon, Adrian Day, Robert Ringer, Peter Schiff, Jeff Clark, Sara Nunnally, and many more.

DiOrio says both local professionals and their clients can learn about the latest U.S. financial regulations and reporting requirements to best structure their portfolios and implement legal measures for minimizing tax and reporting impacts. He points out there is much more knowledge to be shared. “For example, as precious metals are increasingly a part of a prudently diversified portfolio, expert information on acquisition and storage, even local storage, is thoroughly covered at the Liberty Forum conference.

In today’s world, where governments across the globe are enacting policies and regulations at a dizzying pace, DiOrio says it’s important to maintain a broad view and deep understanding of how and where people can reduce their dependence on any one country.   “Local professionals should understand how the Cayman jurisdiction and their own services can help clients with their international diversification strategies in conjunction with experts and jurisdictions outside of Cayman. The conference also presents an opportunity for them to network with international attendees who may require their service offering.”

There are many reasons Grand Cayman is the ideal destination for the Liberty Forum; besides being a beautiful Caribbean nation, Cayman offers local expertise and local diversification opportunities. Forbes recently ranked Cayman at the top of their “friendliest countries” list; Cayman hosts 80% of the world’s hedge funds; forty of the 50 largest banks in the world have a presence in Grand Cayman. The Banker Survey of 2013 gave Cayman the number one slot for a fifth consecutive year as the leading specialist financial center and almost half of the top 30 offshore law firms and all of the top global accounting firms, including the “Big Four” are in Cayman.

The regular event rate is US$1295 but the discounted rate for locals is US$375. For more information e-mail [email protected] or visit www.CaymanLibertyForum.com for details.
