Private wealth, family offices and the next phase of digital assets |
|
|
|
The Cayman Islands continues to strengthen its position as a leading international centre for private wealth, supported by developments in trust and estate planning, digital assets and a growing family office community.

Family offices are taking a more practical approach to ESG, sustainability and impact, with greater focus on governance, risk management and long term portfolio resilience, and increasing interest in how new asset classes, including digital assets, are integrated into portfolios.
