Establishing Your First Alternative Investment Fund – Why Guernsey?

Consultant Paul Bannier of Icorserv discusses why Guernsey is a good choice for establishing an alternative investment fund.

It is that time of year when many in the alternatives investment industry in Europe head off on vacation for a couple of weeks rest and relaxation. Whether chilling out by a pool or enjoying some fresh mountain air, this is often an opportunity to grab some time for strategic thinking – which in many cases involves planning the next career step.

For some, that next step may be a move within an existing organisation or to a competitor. For others, thoughts may turn towards setting up in business on one's own. If you fall into the latter group, establishing your own fund management operation or investment fund may be your goal.
