Differences Between Offshore Domiciles And How To Make An Accurate Comparison Between Each

Christopher Jehan, Chairman of the Guernsey Investment Fund Association's Technical Committee, looks at how different fund jurisdictions compare in a Q&A with Clear Path Analysis' Noel Hillmann.

Noel Hillmann: What is your role and what recent experience do you have in selecting a domicile for a new or existing fund?

Christopher Jehan: I chair the technical committee of the Guernsey Investment Fund Association. I am also an Executive Director within the Guernsey office of an international fund management company. My role is twofold, one for industry as I am constantly looking for reasons to find and bring new business into a jurisdiction like Guernsey and secondly I form part of my organisations global decision making on where to situate funds, particularly when it comes to questions around governance issues and regulations such as the Alternative Investment Fund Managers Directive ("AIFMD").
