Guernsey Finance has announced the launch by HSBC Securities Services in Guernsey (HSSG) of a major, high profile fund worth USD1.5bn on the island.

HSSG has been chosen to provide administration services for the award-winning Tufton Oceanic Hedge Fund, managed by Oceanic Investment Management Limited.

We are confident that the Group will deliver us the best administrative support, to compliment our continuing growth strategy.”
