Jersey's offering is broader than just market access and leading expertise

Jersey funds can be structured as companies (of various types, including cell companies), limited partnerships (of various types, with or without legal personality) and unit trusts, all of which have been tried and tested as fund vehicles for many years and permit easy repatriation of investment proceeds to fund investors.

Jersey can host closed or open ended funds or hybrids; blind pool funds, club arrangements, co-investment structures and managed accounts, as well as listed funds through easy access to The International Stock Exchange (TISE).

Over 40 years’ experience of establishing, operating and liquidating alternative funds of all key asset classes in several positive and negative financial cycles.

For decades Jersey has been a tried and tested, centrally located, fund domicile through which investors from key global markets (North America, the UK, Asia, Middle East, Switzerland and continental EU) have invested $billions into alternative assets of all classes (real estate, hedge, private equity, venture capital, debt, credit, infrastructure etc.)

Jersey provides unrivalled third country access to the EU market through the use of the EU private placement regime and is already ESMA-approved for future AIFMD passporting.

Located in the same central global time zone as London, Jersey is less than an hour’s flight from London, and is close to numerous other UK, Swiss and European airports (including frequent British Airways (code share) and EasyJet airbus flights). Jersey offers significant lifestyle benefits for visitors and inhabitants alike, with a beautiful coastal and countryside environment, Michelin-starred cuisine and award-winning spa hotels.

Whilst English is spoken and written in most financial transactions, the jurisdiction is multicultural and many of our 13,000-strong finance industry workers also speak and write in other languages.

Jersey has a “can do” Anglo-Saxon service ethos, driven by its natural and long-standing affinity with the City of London, providing bespoke alternative funds services; not a commoditised, quasi-retail environment.

Jersey’s streamlined regulatory products and its ability to offer funds to global investors outside the AIFMD environment (removing the additional costs associated with AIFMD depositary, capitalisation, risk management, reporting etc.) can result in lower running costs and higher investor returns in a VAT-free jurisdiction.
