Frequently asked questions
What is SFS Group's regulatory status in Cyprus?
As a Cyprus-domiciled investment bank and wealth trust, SFS Group operates under the supervision of the Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission (CySEC) and benefits from EU MiFID II passporting rights. This allows the firm to provide investment services across European Economic Area member states without establishing separate local entities. The specific CySEC license category has not been publicly disclosed.
What is the advantage of a Cyprus-domiciled investment structure?
Cyprus offers several structural advantages: a 12.5% corporate tax rate, full EU passporting rights under MiFID II, and an extensive network of double-taxation treaties covering Russia, the Middle East, North Africa, and Eastern Europe. For principals deploying capital into jurisdictions where direct investment by US or UK entities faces tax or regulatory friction, a Cypriot vehicle can serve as a treaty-efficient intermediary.
