The latest issue of BL magazine – the annual funds edition – is now available online.
It examines the current state of play in private equity and real estate – two areas in which the Channel Islands have considerable expertise. It also looks at the exciting opportunities that are coming out of the cryptocurrency space and how that may have the power to transform the islands’ funds industries.
The magazine also addresses areas of concern for funds, including the implementation of the Base Erosion and Profit Shifting project (BEPS); the uncertainty caused by Brexit; and whether Guernsey and Jersey are facing a recruitment crisis.
The cover story asks a scary question – whether robo advice signals the end of wealth management as we know it.
Nick Kirby, Editor-in-Chief of BL magazine, says: “Funds are one of the islands’ strong suits and the past 18 months have been exceptionally interesting, with new products introduced and strong performance in all the major sectors. But that doesn't mean there aren’t distinct challenges.
“This year’s funds edition salutes everything that’s great about funds in the islands, as well as getting to grips with those areas that could be problematic in the future.”
Other features in this issue include:
• An interview with Tim Hames from the British Venture Capital & Private Equity Association
• A review of the recent Channel Islands Funds Forum
• Where fund financing is coming from right now
• How women are discriminated against when looking for start-up funding
• How brands can rebuild a battered reputation
• And much more…
