Regulation Of Administrators - Jersey Guide

This guide outlines the legal and regulatory issues related to the carrying on of administration business in or from within Jersey. This is intended as a general guide, however, specific reference to fund structures is included.

There are two key issues to consider in relation to a person carrying on administration business in or from within Jersey ("Administrator"), the first being the substance of the services which will be provided, and the second being the regulation (if any) to which the person to whom the services will be provided is subject. This analysis gives rise to a distinction between an Administrator who will be regulated for "trust company" and/or "fund services business", in each case as defined below.
