Basel Group was established in 1996 and is independently owned by a team of highly experienced executives who are all actively involved in their day-to-day operation. This independent and hands-on approach provides flexibility and fast and effective decision-making, carried out with care. With offices in Jersey and Switzerland, and associates in Luxembourg, Monaco and Mauritius, Basel Group manages and protects assets for clients around the world. Their products and services include estate planning structures, tax mitigation arrangements and asset protection trusts. They have experience of dealing with a wide range of asset classes including investment, trading, intellectual property, real estate, aeroplane owning, ship owning and fulfilment companies. Their clients' assets are safeguarded by the very nature of the business and the locations in which they operates. Basel Group acts as the guardian of their clients' assets and the highly regulated jurisdictions within which they works provide additional levels of comfort, as the Group is required to meet capital adequacy demands imposed by regulators and to maintain significant professional indemnity insurance levels. All of the Group's key subsidiaries are regulated by the relevant financial services authorities and comply with all applicable statutory requirements in the jurisdictions in which they are based.
