Going Solo: Guernsey Structures For Single Investor Or Single Asset Mandates

Guernsey has established itself as a sophisticated, stable jurisdiction for the structuring of alternative investment funds and bespoke vehicles. Among its suite of offerings, Guernsey permits the formation of unregulated structures specifically designed for single investors who wish to invest in a portfolio of assets and for multiple investors who wish to invest in a single asset – with both of these options usually falling outside the scope of regulatory supervision. In these cases, the Guernsey regime provides fund managers and investors with efficiency, flexibility and commercially pragmatic solutions.

Strategic use

The Guernsey regulator adopts a risk-based, proportionate approach. For fund managers, the key takeaway is that Guernsey does not impose regulatory obligations where the risks to investors or the jurisdiction's prominence as a leading financing centre are minimal.
