Dublin-based firm Research and Markets Ltd is offering a comprehensive report on European-owned alternative investment assets. The Offshore Financial Services Databook 2003 represents the first in-depth quantitative study of the offshore investment market, focusing on European-owned assets, specifically those owned by Benelux, French, German, Italian, Nordic, Spanish and UK investors. It examines 13 major offshore locations holding European assets.<\/P><\/p>\n
\nThe 128-page report says that 2002 saw the offshore market decline for the first time in five years; total offshore deposits and mutual funds stood at EUR3,612.7bn compared to EUR3,691.5bn a year earlier.<\/P><\/p>\n
Investors’ choice of offshore deposit destination, says the report, is related to proximity of those centers to the investor’s home market. Europeans accounted for 84% of all deposits in Dublin IFSC and 72% of deposits in Isle of Man, US investors accounted for 62% of all deposits in the Bahamas and Asian investors accounted for 48% of all deposits in Hong Kong.<\/P><\/p>\n
The report forecasts that offshore deposits will grow by 2.8% compounded annually in the period 2003-4. Dublin IFSC will grow fastest while the Bahamas, and NL Antilles will contract over the period. Offshore mutual funds will grow slightly faster, by 4.4% compounded annually. Bermuda and the BVI will be among the fastest growing centers while the Bahamas will lag behind.<\/P><\/p>\n
