Jurisdictions are adapting to meet emerging
managers' evolving requirements, allowing new funds to focus on
their core business areas, says Elliot Refson at Jersey
Finance.
What will the next generation of private equity firms expect
from fund jurisdictions?
In 2022 we commissioned a survey that found that the biggest
challenges facing managers are marketing, brand awareness,
fundraising, regulation and, always in the background, cost.
Meanwhile, some 47 percent of survey respondents ranked service
quality as the most important factor for choosing a fund domicile,
citing access to specialist support and advice as paramount.
There are two sides to this finding: specialist support at the
jurisdictional level, and specialist support at the service
provider level.
