Why Guernsey For Private Fund Structures?
Guernsey is a leading domicile for funds, with more than 50
years of experience in the formation, administration and
cross-border distribution of investment funds. It also offers a
'lighter touch' approach to Private Investment Structures
('PS'), also known as Private Funds ('PF'), which
are 'related party' investment structures, particularly
suitable for family office arrangements.
Private Funds are of particular interest as platforms for
wealthy families and small groups of "club" investors to
hold a wide variety of assets.
Private Funds are bespoke structures with minimal or no fund
regulatory status. There is no legal definition for a PF, and they
can be a legal entity with a similar choice of structure; for
example, a limited company, limited partnership, trust and/or a
cellular company.
