Case Study: Why a New Media Fund Chose Jersey
Our new series of ‘In conversation with…’ articles uses case studies to bring to life and showcase ‘Why Jersey?’ for fund domiciliation. In the first of the series, Leanne Wallser of Walkers and Jacqueline O’Mahony of Productivity Media, explain why Productivity Media selected Jersey for the launch of their new fund for international film and TV projects.
New Publication: Jersey for US Fund Managers
A new Jersey Finance publication showcasing Jersey’s commercial and cultural connections with the US has been launched. ‘Jersey for US Fund Managers‘ complements our US video in promoting Jersey to legal and financial service providers in the US, particularly in the funds sector. There are contributions from several Member firms, as well as an interesting section on links between the US and Jersey away from the world of finance.
New White Paper: IFI's 'Fund Domiciliation in a Fast-Changing World'
IFI Global has just published a white paper on fund domiciliation patterns and how they could be at a turning point. IFI reports that many US fund managers are considering their domiciliation options more closely these days and this is, in part, because of growing costs and regulatory requirements of being in certain Caribbean jurisdictions. The white paper is entitled ‘Fund Domiciliation in a Fast-Changing World’.
Articles: Focus on Middle Eastern Investors
In this series of articles, taking a look at the increasing interest by investors from the Middle East in Jersey as a destination for funds, we explore the reasons why Jersey is the natural jurisdiction for meeting their alternative investment objectives.

Jersey Finance was delighted to sponsor the prestigious Greenwich Economic Forum in the US. ‘Investors, Politics and Pandemics: How to Choose the Right Fund Domicile’ was the title of the virtual roundtable we held at the Forum, hosted by Philip Pirecki, our Business Development lead for North America. Listen in to hear from a panel of expert speakers, who provide their views and insightful analysis.
New Report: SA Fund Managers: Trends in Fund Domiciliation and Capital Raising
Our new report, ‘South African Fund Managers: Trends in Fund Domiciliation and Capital Raising’ was recently launched at a webinar event. Produced by African Business Magazine, the research surveyed more than 60 LPs and GPs globally and explores the emerging trends for fund domiciliation and capital raising, particularly as a route for private equity impact investing into the wider African continent.
