1. What motivates a client today to have a ‘structure’ in an IFC (International Finance Centre)? Succession planning? Diversification? Asset protection? Privacy?

In our experience, what motivates a client to have a structure in an IFC has changed over time. In the past, it was highly dominated by tax and privacy. Today, the motivators have moved on. Tax is still relevant but is not the principal, or the sole driver. Rather, issues around succession planning, around asset protection, and around legitimate privacy are the principle drivers, motivators for clients to establish offshore structures in international financial centres.
