Real Estate Funds Look To Channel Islands

Guernsey and Jersey are fast becoming seen as the jurisdictions of choice for Asian funds.

A recent article from Guernsey Finance highlighted that international investors are increasingly seeking reputable jurisdictions that are well regulated, conveniently located and have service providers with experience and knowledge. Investment into London's booming real estate is especially sought. Furthermore, according to a recent article in Estates Gazette, Jersey's convenience and appeal are also unlikely to dim for international investors, particularly in Asian markets.

Richard Divall, head of Europe, Middle East and Asian investment at Colliers International, points out, Asian money has dominated London investment and this will increasingly be channelled through the Channel Islands.
