Jersey’s alternative funds market continues to grow, new figures show.

Ogier funds partner Simon Schilder believes the growth, and continuing confidence in the sector, is influenced by ESMA’s recommendation about the extension of the AIFMD marketing passport to Jersey.

The number of Jersey-registered alternative investment fund managers (AIFMs) marketing into Europe through national private placement regimes (NPPRs) under the EU Alternative Investment Fund Managers Directive (AIFMD) rose significantly in the second half of 2015, according to the Jersey Financial Services Commission.

By September 2015, the net asset value of all alternative funds being administered in Jersey had grown by 12% year-on-year to £159bn, including rises of 21% in hedge, 2% in private equity and 16% in real estate funds.
