Proposed amendments to Guernsey's
Private Investment Fund (PIF) regime are being welcomed as a
way of enhancing an already-successful investment product. In this
article Matt Sanders, Managing Partner of law firm Walkers in Guernsey, explores
how the PIF is bringing Guernsey into play when US managers are
looking to target European capital.
Since the launch of the Private Investment
Fund product in Guernsey in 2016, the regime has been used for
a wide variety of different purposes and fund product ranges
– club deals, family/private investment structures, and the
much larger mega-funds have all availed themselves of this highly
flexible and appropriately regulated fund product.
