Popular US video podcast ‘Alt Funds Network’ chose Jersey as the focus for its latest episode.
Industry experts Mike Schroeder and Skyler Steinke interviewed Jersey Finance’s Head of Funds, Elliot Refson, for the episode titled ‘Hedge Funds, Tokenisation and the Future of Digital Assets’.
It highlights:
- Jersey as a gold standard jurisdiction
Known for tax neutrality, political stability and high regulatory standards, Jersey is an attractive alternative to onshore EU locations like Luxembourg. Our Island provides cost-effective and streamlined access to European markets under the National Private Placement Regime, avoiding the full scope of Alternative Investment Fund Managers Directive (AIFMD) regulations.

Jersey has been a leader in digital assets, having regulated the first Bitcoin fund in 2014. Our collaborative ecosystem—government, industry and regulator—drives innovation. Recently, the Jersey Financial Services Commission issued guidance for real-world asset tokenisation, aligning blockchain technology with traditional asset classes like real estate and private equity. - Shifts in investor behaviour
There is a clear trend toward investors seeking control of their assets, evidenced by the growth of bespoke structures like Jersey Private Funds. Tokenisation facilitates this shift by offering fractional ownership, transparency and liquidity, meeting the demands of high-net-worth individuals and institutional investors. - Regulatory certainty and competitiveness
Jersey’s proactive approach provides confidence to fund managers and investors. Our established expertise in securitisation and fund structuring positions Jersey as a global leader in alternative investments and tokenised assets.
