Cayman Islands: Structured finance transactions in the Cayman Islands

Abstract

The growth of structured finance transactions in the Cayman Islands was originally initiated domestically but the trend continues in the international arena with increasingly sophisticated techniques being adopted and developed by a broad range of multinational financial institutions, often replacing traditional bank finance. To the extent that markets are becoming unified and increased capital and regulatory standards are being imposed domestically, the trend of establishing structured finance transactions offshore is expected to accelerate.
