Jersey To Highlight Unregulated Fund Offering At Monaco Fund Event,
by Carla Johnson, Investors Offshore.com, London
Monday, June 16, 2008
Leading fund professionals from Jersey will be highlighting the early interest
in its new unregulated fund offering when they attend the Global Alternative
Investment Management (GAIM) Forum in Monaco this week, Jersey Finance has announced.
Alongside the launch of the new fund category, the number of funds overall
that have been set up in Jersey is still showing a marked increase, despite
the difficult trading conditions being experienced globally.
Figures for the first quarter of 2008 recorded that at least 59 new funds were
established. The number of Expert Funds has increased by a further 18 during
the same period, and the first unregulated funds, though not included in the
statistics, have also been established.
The total number of funds stands at 1,370, up from 1,311 in December and 170
more than a year ago, according to the finance industry body.
Richard Thomas, Chairman of the Jersey Funds Association, commented that:
"The success of the Expert Fund regime has shown that Expert Funds designed
for professional investors can sit alongside other regulatory regimes available
in Jersey and that they complement each other. We are confident that the new
unregulated offering will continue this trend. It is a logical extension to
the existing fast track Expert Fund regime, providing vehicles that will meet
a specific market demand."
Since the launch of the vehicle in February, a number of unregulated funds have been formed,
including a fund investing in solar energy products, another seeking development
capital for small and medium sized European businesses involved in renewable
energies, and a property fund investing in real estate in California.
Delegates from the Jersey Funds Association (JFA) will attend the Forum, which
attracts some of the biggest names and most influential practitioners in the
world-wide funds industry.
Jersey Finance, the representative arm of the finance industry in Jersey, is
attending and co-ordinating the visit with JFA representatives.
The Jersey delegation will be setting up and manning a stand for the three
day event which opens on Tuesday.
Geoff Cook, Chief Executive of Jersey Finance stated that:
"There are now a number of regulatory routes to set up a Jersey fund and
each one has an appropriate level of investor protection. We will be using the
GAIM event as a platform in which to explain the entire range of fund offerings
now available in the Island and how they suit different demands from the Industry."
