Mauritius
Mauritius was selected by Rocquaine as the home for its first regulated operating subsidiary in view of the jurisdiction’s standing as an international finance centre (IFC) of excellence for over thirty years.
Rocquaine also considers that Mauritius has many advantages as an IFC jurisdiction. These include –
- The availability and capabilities of personnel with relevant professional qualifications and experience,
- Adherence to international standards and practices and acceptance as a compliant jurisdiction by international organisations such as the OECD, FATF and the EU,
- The benefits of a wide network of bilateral agreements with other jurisdictions (both double taxation agreements and investment protection agreements), making it an ideal base for cross-border investment and trading activity,
- The excellence and competitiveness of its service culture and offering, and
- Cost-competitiveness compared with other well-known jurisdictions with established finance industries such as the Crown Dependencies.
Rocquaine (Mauritius) Limited was incorporated in Mauritius on 30 May 2024 as a wholly owned subsidiary of Rocquaine Management Limited. On 21 May 2025 Rocquaine Mauritius was authorised by the Financial Services Commission in Mauritius to operate as a Managed Corporate Services Provider, initially for a term of three years (subject to extension) under a management agreement with Mauritius International Trust Company Limited (MITCO). Under the terms of that agreement MITCO will resource and manage in Mauritius the operations of Rocquaine Mauritius as a trust and corporate services provider. Following expiration of the term of the agreement Rocquaine Mauritius will be expected to be fully resourced independently and be able to stand on its own feet as a Mauritius regulated business.
