In A Safe Jurisdiction

In A Safe Jurisdiction

The Bahamas offers a stable, well-regulated and tax neutral jurisdiction and has demonstrated a strong level of commitment to compliance.

A Rich History

Deltec was established in 1946 in Brazil when Clarence J. Dauphinot, Jr. and associates, Earl Elrick and Angus Littlejohn, moved to Brazil to explore banking and direct investment opportunities. The first initial of each last name forms the DEL in Deltec.

In Great Company

Deltec’s shareholders, in the early days, included a number of prominent U.S. investment banks and European financial institutions, each of whom had a small shareholding to express their interest in the financing activities of the Deltec Group. Over the ensuing decades, Deltec forged its reputation as an innovator in structuring solutions and investment opportunities.

A Safe Jurisdiction

The Bahamas is a well-regulated and fully compliant International Financial Centre (IFC). For many reasons, The Bahamas is a preferred location for the ownership of intangible assets and the operation of corporate offices and businesses involved in international trade, as it offers a tax neutral platform – with no income, estate, inheritance or capital gains tax, and no restrictions on the repatriation of funds. There is no forced heirship laws for domiciled assets and is the highest ranking nation for civil liberties and political rights by the World Bank.

Looking To The Future

In Recent Years, Deltec has adjusted its business model - adding certain innovative development initiatives to its core business of traditional private banking in order to service clients in more robust and convenient ways.

THE BAHAMAS

A Strong, Well-Regulated International Financial Centre

‘The Bahamas’ financial services industry is stable and governed by a sound regulatory regime’

 Deltec remains in The Bahamas today because of its mature financial services industry, established infrastructure, progressive government, tax neutral environment and luxury lifestyle, which have all been cultivated very carefully to position it as a centre for international business.

The Bahamas is situated at the Crossroads of the Americas, just 65 miles off the east coast of Florida. With a population of more than 250,000, the island nation is located in close proximity to North, Central and South America and shares the same time zone as New York City, with office hours that align with most of the major business centres in the Americas.

The Bahamas is a well regulated and fully compliant International Financial Centre (IFC) and is an active participant in multilateral organisations established to set and monitor standards for regulation and Anti-Money Laundering and Countering of Terrorist Financing (AML/CFT).
