Investment flows between Guernsey and the United States are
growing, according to new research commissioned by the island's
government.
Guernsey-domiciled funds saw a capital flow of £43 billion
into the US in mid-2019, with a third of that figure originating in
that country. More than two-thirds of that figure was invested in
private equity. US investors backed Guernsey-domiciled funds with
£43.6 billion, more than £33 billion of which was
invested globally, particularly Europe.
In mid-2019 the net asset value of Guernsey-domiciled funds
under management and administration in Guernsey was £227.7
billion.
Rupert Pleasant, Chief Executive of Guernsey Finance, said:
"Guernsey has successfully attracted USA-based investors into
our private equity funds. Some 95% of all investment from the US
into Guernsey funds goes into private equity, which is by far the
largest share going into the sector from any single
jurisdiction.
