A predicted rise of investment in alternative assets is expected to offer significant opportunities for Guernsey as a premier location for alternative asset funds and fund managers, in the coming years.

According to 'Alternative Asset Management in 2020: Fast Forward to Centre Stage', a report recently published by PwC, investments in alternatives could double from their current level to reach US$15.3 trillion by 2020 if the high performance of capital markets continues to be driven by accommodative monetary policy and stable GDP growth, or reach US$13.6 trillion if interest rates in Europe and the US rise and capital markets undergo correction.

Roland Mills, Director at PwC in Guernsey, said: "Given the bulk of their funds business is in alternatives, for the Channel Islands, these trends represent real opportunity."
