Why New Zealand is the preferred jurisdiction for non-resident trusts

Join host Kate Weiss, managing director of Asiaciti Trust New Zealand, and Henry Brandts-Giesen from Dentons as they explore the evolving regulatory landscape and distinguish between offshore, onshore, and midshore jurisdictions. Henry sheds light on New Zealand's competitive edge by combining the best of both onshore and offshore environments, creating a balanced and advantageous midshore jurisdiction.

Together with Kate, he delves into the legitimate functions of cross-border wealth structuring, addressing common misconceptions and emphasizing New Zealand's strengths in privacy, asset protection, and favourable regulatory environment.
