Guernsey – Innovative Fund Structuring Solutions Through The Use Of Cell Companies

Guernsey is at the forefront of cell company development and their uses in the funds industry.

A Pioneer With The PCC

Just over a decade ago the Island of Guernsey pioneered a new concept the Protected Cell Company (PCC). It was initially developed in response to the needs of the Islands pre-eminent captive insurance industry. Since then this versatile concept has become an increasingly popular solution for all types of financial services business, including the structuring of funds.

Using The PCC

A PCC is a company made up of a core and individual cells, where the legal segregation ensures that the assets and liabilities of one cell are kept separate and protected from the assets and liabilities of the other cells, as well as from the PCCs non-cellular assets and creditors.
