Staying Ahead: Regulatory Innovation In Focus

Jersey Finance's Head of Funds Elliot Refson and Americas Lead Philip Pirecki were interviewed recently by Private Equity International's Buyouts team on the topic of regulatory innovation and why it is key to stakeholders remaining relevant.

How important is regulatory innovation as part of a jurisdiction's market positioning?

Elliot Refson: If you take the view that a jurisdiction is a business, and just like any other business it needs to stay ahead of its customers' needs, then it's clear that regulatory innovation is vital. Jersey's customers are investors, allocators and managers, so the jurisdiction's role is to keep up with market trends and international regulatory requirements, to position Jersey as the best place for those funds to operate from.
