Guernsey is a self-governing dependency of the British Crown. It neither forms part of the United Kingdom nor the European Union. By constitutional convention, the island enjoys autonomy in all matters of internal government, including powers to enact legislation and raise taxes.

Secure and regulated.
Guernsey’s financial services sector is regulated by the Guernsey Financial Services Commission, that underpins the high levels of corporate governance, compliance with international regulatory, anti-money laundering and anti-bribery and corruption standards that have maintained the ongoing stability of this location.
PTC Trustees Limited is regulated and licensed by the Commission, which means that the firm fulfils key criteria with respect to capital adequacy, insurance cover, compliance, staff qualifications, training and management, as well as internal corporate governance standards.
