Regulatory Developments for Jersey-Based Fund Services Businesses

Recent legal and regulatory changes in Jersey’s funds industry include modernisation of the Jersey Private Fund regime, enhanced fund product flexibility and competitiveness, and ongoing consultations on AML/CFT, civil financial penalties and code updates. These reforms align with the Government of Jersey’s financial services competitiveness programme, aiming to streamline frameworks and support global investor access. Key consultations focus on transposing EU AIFMD II into the AIF Code and adapting to evolving UK AIFM rules to preserve market access. While these shifts bring compliance challenges, they also offer practitioners opportunities to innovate, enhance market reach and future-proof fund services.

This webinar provides one-hour of CPD and offers insights and updates from a leading industry-expert speaker.
