On 16 May 2012 over 200 wealth management professionals attended the Jersey Finance Annual London Conference at the British Museum, which was sponsored by Affinity Private Wealth, Hawksford, JTC Group, Sinels and Royal Bank of Canada. Keynote speakers included broadcaster Nick Robinson, who gave "an overview of the current global political landscape and his views on what this means in terms of future wealth creation, and Tom Purves, former CEO of Rolls Royce, who discussed the challenges in creating wealth and the importance of integrity and a strong, credible brand".

Geoff Cook, chief executive of Jersey Finance, who introduced the conference, said:

It was a really excellent turnout at this week's conference, particularly in terms of the high proportion of attendees from the City and elsewhere in the UK. It demonstrates the continued attraction of Jersey for high quality wealth management services amongst UK professionals and reinforces the strong links with and the enormous contribution Jersey makes to the City of London.[3]
