Jurisdiction selection is about remedies, predictability, administration quality, and how the structure will operate in real life.
Cook Islands
Often selected for robust offshore trust frameworks and mature fiduciary administration.
Nevis
Often used for offshore trust and LLC layers within a broader architecture.
Cayman
International financial center; fit depends on architecture and counterparties.
Selection rubric: Pick the jurisdiction last. Start with threat model → architecture → custody reality → governance capacity → then select jurisdictions that match.
