Although there is –as yet- no platform that will execute all financial products (stocks, bonds, futures, ETFs, FOREX, CFDs, Funds etc) in all stock exchanges, investorseurope in Gibraltar is unique because it will find and set up the platform best suited to every client’s needs and investorseurope is not tied to any platform and can therefore offer the platforms on an objective best-of-breed basis. Investor Europe gets lots of coverage on the internet and is easily found on Google, Froogle, Yahoo and other online directories, regional and commercial directories and search engines.

Over the Last three years, Gibraltar has attempted to set up the legal infrastructure to attract funds and specifically experienced investor funds to the Rock and more recently a Gibraltar stock exchange called gibEX. Is The Gibraltar Stock Exchange will come on-stream during the course of 2008 and is expected to attract new investors to Gibraltar’s burgeoning economy. Although gaming plays an important part in terms of employment in this British colony in Europe, funds from the UK are now being increasingly attracted to Gibraltar and setting up shop in Gibraltar and investment in the Rock in this sector is on the up and up.

Gibraltar is a bit of an anachronism, a British Colony in Europe in Spain’s very back yard and yet not quite British; a member of the EU yet no Value Added Tax (VAT); part of mainland Europe yet boasting Common Law making it quite a unique offshore lodged where it is amongst the so-called PIGS countries (Portugal, Italy, Greece and Spain); Common Law makes it an efficient jurisdiction from which to do business and it has a dedicated finance centre to promote and encourage investment in Gibraltar which is currently riding the crest of an investment wave and the Gibraltar Government has been very proactive and at the forefront of this process.

Some useful Gibraltar organisations are here:

The Gibraltar Government has both a Gibraltar website and a UK website and promotes Gibraltar by means of various road shows and conferences that The European Finance Center organises; the The Financial Services Commission and The Gibraltar Investor Compensation Scheme work in tandem with regard to regulated entities such as investorseurope whilst the Gibraltar Association of Stockbrokers and Investment Managers represents financial institutions. Other institutions reinforcing Gibraltar’s standing as an offshore jurisdiction of high quality are The Gibraltar Society of Chartered and Certified Accountancy Bodies, The Auditors Registration Board, The Gibraltar Regulatory Authority and The Ombudsman. At Companies House offshore companies can be registered whilst support is provided to Gibraltar registered companies by The Gibraltar Chamber of Commerce and The Gibraltar Federation of Small Businesses.
