Jersey has world-wide appeal as jurisdiction of choice for investment funds amongst European and international investors and their advisers. Long established as a leading international finance centre, the Island has developed specific expertise in relation to institutional and professional investor funds as well as in relation to complex asset holding structures particularly for private equity, mezzanine, infrastructure, real estate and other alternative investment funds

As an international finance centre Jersey offers:

• Long-term economic and political stability.
  
  
• Flexible, independently endorsed regulatory framework designed to provide appropriate levels of supervision.
  
  
• Tax neutral location.
  
  
• Mature and well respected commercial legal system based on English law principles.
  
  
• White-list approved jurisdiction by G20 and an associate member of OECD.
  
  
• Competitive position: Jersey’s the only jurisdiction ranked in the top 20 Financial Centres by the 2010 Global Financial Centres Index.
  

Jersey's finance industry and professional infrastructure has a headcount in excess of 12,000 and has developed a breadth and depth in its expertise and range of services that many competitor jurisdictions are unable to match. The net asset value of investment funds administered in Jersey in March 2010 exceeded US$350 billion. Its proximity to and same time-zone as London make closing and ongoing administration of London-originated transactions a simpler process.
