With the publication of the Jersey Private Funds Guide in April
2017, Jersey introduced a welcome simplification of its funds
regime, by providing for a single Jersey private fund product,
called the "Jersey Private Fund".
The total number of registered Jersey Private Funds has now
surpassed the 500 mark, highlighting their continuing appeal to
investors and managers as a flexible alternative fund structuring
product.
Every Jersey Private Fund (JPF) must have a
consent issued under the Control of Borrowing (Jersey) Order 1958
(COBO) and, subject to meeting the eligibility and
structuring requirements of the Jersey Private Funds Guide
(JPF Guide) set out in this briefing note, may be
established using a streamlined authorisation approach.
