Whatever your needs as a fund manager, Guernsey will have the
capacity to meet them – that's just one of the reasons
the island is so popular for private equity funds, says Ogier
partner Craig Cordle.
Speaking to Real Deals this month, Craig says: “Guernsey
is a pragmatic jurisdiction. The regulator is responsive and
proactive, there is speed to market and a huge amount of service
provider expertise on hand.
"Structures are simple and fit for purpose. Investors take
comfort in that,” says Craig, a funds specialist based on
Ogier's Guernsey office. “There is a depth of experience
and expertise across the Island’s advisory
ecosystem.”
Guernsey's continued growth in private equity funds business
- figures show the value reaching its highest-ever level at the end
of September 2018, passing the £120bn (€135m) watermark
for the first time ever - is a result of a focusing on speed to
market, best-in-class service provision and competitive costs.
