The Cayman Islands — population 68,000 — is the world's fifth-largest financial centre by assets under management, with over USD 7 trillion in registered fund assets. It hosts more than 11,000 hedge funds, 100,000+ registered companies, and the Cayman Islands Stock Exchange, which lists the majority of the world's offshore debt instruments. Cayman operates zero corporate tax, zero income tax, and zero capital gains tax — the fiscal foundation that makes it the preferred domicile for private equity funds, hedge funds, and special purpose vehicles globally. The legal system is English common law; the courts are efficient; the regulatory framework is FATF-compliant. Cayman is not a secrecy jurisdiction in the traditional sense — it participates in OECD automatic information exchange — but it offers structural advantages that no onshore jurisdiction can replicate: a politically stable, low-complexity environment where fund domiciliation adds legal efficiency without adding regulatory friction. Every major private equity fund in the world has a Cayman entity.
