Introduction

For decades, the Cayman Islands has been home to family offices seeking a quality and stable location to manage its increasingly global operations.

In recent years, high net-worth individuals and family offices are increasingly opting to relocate to the Cayman Islands, citing its neutral tax regime, efficient and progressive regulations, access to high quality talent and service providers, and high quality of life.

Deloitte is the world’s largest professional services firm with more than 330,000 professionals in 150 countries. Deloitte has been named the strongest and most valuable commercial services brand in the world for the third consecutive year by Brand Finance, in its 2021 Global 500 report.
