The Financial Times' Private Wealth Management (PWM) magazine recently hosted a virtual panel discussion on the impact of global risks on countries with Citizenship by Investment (CBI) programmes. Due diligence experts from major intelligence agencies including Karen Kelly, Director of Strategy and Development at Exiger; Eddy Leviton, Chief Operating Officer at Fact WorldWide and Heyrick Bond Gunning, Chief Operating Officer at S-RM, gave their views on the matter in a panel discussion.The panel was moderated by Yuri Bender, Editor in Chief Professional Wealth Management Magazine.In the second chapter of the four-part series, the PWM Perspectives series delves deeper into due diligence practices undertaken by countries that offer CBI programmes with a specific focus on continuous monitoring - a key aspect of successful CBI programmes in the market.CBI Units in certain markets, especially those in the Caribbean, are raising the standard when it comes to due diligence processes due to their proactive stance. These jurisdictions are making sure that they are constantly ahead of issues arising in the space of international relations and making proactive decisions that ensure the safety of applicants and citizens.Karen Kelly, Director of Strategy and Development at Exiger highlighted the importance of ongoing monitoring as the reports given to country clients by intelligence firms are "only a snapshot in time". She noted the importance of continuous monitoring of past and current applicants from high-risk countries to check whether they are on sanctions lists or watch list hits - "That's something which I've seen happening especially in Caribbean countries who view continuous monitoring as a key pillar of their due diligence process.""The proactive countries, such as those in the Caribbean, are asking compes like ours to do a 'rescrub' of the likely problematic parties that could have been awarded citizenship and that is ahead of potential sanctions," added Heyrick Bond Gunning, Chief Operating Officer at S-RM.Eddy Leviton, Chief Operating Officer at Fact WorldWide said that the rigorous nature of due diligence processes in the Caribbean means that it is highly unlikely that persons trying to evade the law would choose these jurisdictions.This new layer of ongoing monitoring has become a key pillar of CBI Units in Caribbean jurisdictions, which are setting global best practices when it comes to advancements in due diligence processes.Funds from CBI programmes often provide a vital source of income for some countries, especially in times of crisis - as is often the case for Caribbean countries devastated by hurricanes - these countries value the investment that goes into their economies and the benefits to their people. If it was not for CBI programmes, many of these nations would not be able to build back better and stronger.CBI is enabling many of these island nations to fulfil their true ambitions to become independent, developed, prosperous countries, as CBI monetary inflows are making a major difference in the government's performance for smaller countries who are using the revenue to build an insurance framework against natural disasters and debt reduction."Caribbean countries who offer CBI programmes know the reputational risk to their brands and their programmes is so high, that they are making sure that due diligence is of the highest standards," comments Paul Singh, Director at - a leading citizenship planning firm."As custodians of the CBI industry, we are continuously supporting and guiding governments to be proactive when it comes to their due diligence processes as we believe this is the cornerstone of a successful CBI programme and prerequisite to gaining trust of the international community."Caribbean countries offer some of the most robust due diligence processes in the industry as some of their citizenship by investment programmes have been around for decades, as is the case with St Kitts and Nevis' Programme which was established in 1984 and that of Dominica which was established in 1993.This story is provided by NewsVoir. will not be responsible in any way for the content of this article.
