The total number of registered Jersey Private Funds (JPFs) has passed 500, according to the latest quarterly statistics collated by the Jersey Financial Services Commission and published by Jersey Finance.
There were 502 JPFs at the end of September 2021, up 38% on the same time the previous year.
Launched in 2017, the JPF structure is aimed at small numbers of sophisticated investors, offering flexibility, fast-track authorisation and lighter touch ongoing regulatory requirements.
The structure particularly suits the private placement route for marketing funds into Europe as well as within the ESG space.
Jersey Finance CEO Joe Moynihan (pictured) commented: “These latest figures show the enduring strength of the JPF, particularly when it comes to private capital co-investment and cross-border institutional alternative fund structuring.
"By being cost-effective, flexible and swift to market, the structure has genuinely become a go-to vehicle that has undoubtedly played a part in the sizeable growth we’ve seen in our funds sector as a whole.”
