Guernsey's core funds messages have been given a
global boost with the publication of a new report on Guernsey Fund
Services, produced with Global Fund Media. The report identifies
Guernsey as a leading jurisdiction for both start-up managers and
established funds. Hedgeweek (part of GFM) Managing Editor James
Williams leads off by speaking to Guernsey experts about financial
innovation in the island's funds sector.
The funds sector has matured and developed into a more
sophisticated market than it was 10 years ago. Technology advances
and product innovation in new asset classes has deepened the funds
industry, creating more complexity as a result. At the same time,
over the last decade, demands on jurisdictions have risen in terms
of the level of support that needs to be provided, in terms of
substance and effective oversight. Guernsey has always been
cognisant of this and has evolved in step with those changing
times.
