One of the major areas of growth within Guernsey's
investment fund sector has been private equity. The advent of the
island's qualifying investor fund legislation (QIF) has seen a
growth in the number of private equity funds domiciling and being
administered in Guernsey.
The administration of private equity funds is a specialist area
that requires specialist knowledge when dealing with custodians,
investors, directors and auditors, in areas such as capital call
activity, distributions and transfers of interest.
International Private Equity Services Limited (Ipes) is a
Guernsey-based administrator, with offices in Jersey and London,
specialising in administering private equity funds.
