In 2017, more than US$57 billion was raised by private debt funds – a nine year high. This report – Jersey for Alternative Lenders: A Bright Future’ – looks at why an increasing number of borrowers are choosing alternative lenders, even if the banks can offer them cheaper solutions, and how jurisdictions like Jersey are ready to support this growth.
Legislation in Jersey, that will enable the establishment of Limited Liability Companies (LLCs) and has the potential to significantly enhance pan-Atlantic business with the US, has been given the green light. Work is now underway to complete the regulatory framework and make LLCs available for use.
Latest figures on the size of the finance industry in Jersey show the value of the funds sector is at a record high.
