Independent Financial Centre of the Americas

October 16th 2007: To ensure the Independent Financial Centre of the Americas is a new global model for the conduct of international finance in the 21st century, we are committed to making a positive contribution to the quality of living experienced by those who work with and for us. In a technologically enabled world, where the physical boundaries between work and home are progressively dissolving, we are committed to keeping pace with, and even pioneering the changes that result from this new range of opportunities and expectations. Of course, this is as much about offering protection from the insistent demands of a busy professional life as it is about enabling an instantaneous and secure 24/7 connection to the workplace. We believe that the idea of a 'work-life balance' isn't a matter of prescription, and nor is it something that stays constant in anyone's life. In fact, we believe it is founded on the deeper sense of being valued by others for what one is and does, whether at work, socially or at home, and therefore able to fulfil with confidence one's professional and personal potential. And so in the facilities and services we offer in and around the Centre, we strive at all times to enable those who work with us to enjoy a life inconceivable anywhere else in the world. With a combination of built environment, transportation, IT infrastructure and simple human service we are creating an environment to provide time for your life. To put a practical and human face on this idea, we are building a remarkable service offering right at the heart of our operation. With a level of care and support superior to that of the great hotels of the world, the exacting standards applied at the Centre will provide continuity between the professional and domestic needs of its occupants. We have begun to source our concierge facility and it will provide the highest level of support, whether at home or at work, to smooth both the everyday and the extraordinary complications that tend to accumulate in a busy life.
