Paradise Papers: Oxford and Cambridge invested tens of millions of pounds in offshore
The Oxford and Cambridge universities, as well as nearly half of all Oxford colleges, have secretly invested tens of millions of pounds in offshore funds, including a joint venture for oil exploration and deep water drilling.
Such data were revealed by journalists as part of an international Paradise Papers investigation.
From the published files it follows that both universities have allocated significant funds to the multibillion private partnerships located on the Cayman Islands.
The money is being diverted to what is called "blocking corporations". Agreements are typically carried out in partnership with a fund located in Delaware, USA.
Thus, universities can avoid or "block" the US tax on investments in hedge funds. They receive dividends without taxes.
Documents labeled "commercial secret and confidential" show that in 2006, Oxford invested £ 2.6 million in Coller International, a private equity firm based in Guernsey. This money was put into two separate funds, which consist of cash from the university and from individual colleges.
Cambridge has invested 1.7 million dollars under the same scheme.
On Sunday, at 8:00 pm in Ukrainian time, at the same time, four hundred journalists in sixty seven countries published their materials on the financial secrets of those in power.
The Investigation.Info team, as an official partner of the OCCRP, joined this international project and found in the documents more than a dozen Ukrainian surnames.
Based on the analysis of documents, journalists came to the conclusion that the creation by President Poroshenko of the offshore structure of Roshen Corporation in 2014 was aimed at minimizing taxes, rather than transferring corporations to a blind trust.
