1. Are the more exotic jurisdictions, such as those in the Caribbean, still able to compete?

They're finding it a lot more difficult. We're seeing a trend; the last choice, they used to be the first choice, so there could be good reason for it. But we're seeing a move towards the long-established stability of Jersey, Guernsey, the Isle of Man, Gibraltar to an extent, but away from the coconut islands, as I heard one client call them. And Hong Kong and Singapore, I think, are coming to the fore. And Hong Kong would be ideally placed, particularly with its trust industry, now it's got regulation, if it wasn't for the present turmoil. So, I imagine, but I'm not certain of my facts here, that Singapore will be a major beneficiary of that.
