Jersey: A Compelling Domicile for Alternative Funds

There are compelling reasons to use Jersey fund structures as opposed to those found in onshore EU jurisdictions such as Luxembourg. Locating funds in Jersey is likely to be more suitable for many funds because of the lower costs, ease and speed of establishment. This is especially true for funds marketing to three or fewer EU member states, which statistics show make up 97% of fund managers*, as Jersey largely negates the need for a costly and potentially onerous AIFMD marketing passport.
