Collaboration: Key To Jersey's Fund Future

The theme of collaboration was topical at our latest Fund Focus event which took place earlier this month in London. The event focussed on the opportunities in credit and equity investing across the real estate landscape.

Our Director of Funds and Corporate for the UK, Nicola Le Brocq, was joined by experts Adam Knight, Head of Funds and Indirect Real Estate at Bedell Cristin and John Forbes, Partner at John Forbes consulting LLP for a fireside chat. The group discussed how the dynamics for real estate are volatile and that for investors, it can be daunting but could also be the best time for capital deployment.

Current landscape

Forming the backdrop to the event was the recent introduction of the Reserved Investor Fund (RIF). Introduced in March this year, this onshore fund is primarily targeted at professional and institutional investors. It offers pension schemes and other large investors access to illiquid assets opening up new avenues for UK fund managers
