As frequent advisers on Jersey fund start ups, Collas Crill are
often involved in preliminary structuring discussions with new fund
managers and sponsors.
These sponsors are typically focussed on 'alternative'
assets such as real estate, private equity, venture capital, debt
and infrastructure assets for a professional / sophisticated /
institutional / HNW / sovereign wealth fund investor base (i.e. not
necessarily retail investors).
We understand the anxieties that often sit behind the questions
we receive, namely:
- Will investors be turned off if I
choose a particular jurisdiction and are my choices for this
project 'market standard' or novel?
- Will the reality meet the hype that
I'm given from advisors and service providers or industry
bodies?
