There are many advantages of Private Interest Foundations, such as the following:
- No requirement to disclose beneficiaries.
- No requirement to file annual returns or financial statements.

- Simple ongoing administration.
- Its cost is very competitive with respect to those of the other foreign jurisdictions.
- The founder may act through a corporation if he desires.
