Jersey Investment Funds - Focus on Africa

As one of the world's leading funds domiciles, Jersey is well positioned to assist investors in Sub-Saharan Africa.

Jersey is one of the world's leading international fund domiciles and is a popular jurisdiction for funds investing into Sub-Saharan Africa or pooling capital from investors in the region, thereby supporting in-bound foreign direct investment (FDI) as well as acting as an investment gateway to the UK and Europe.

It is estimated that Jersey accounts for around £15.5 billion in deployed capital across Kenya, Uganda, South Africa and Egypt. According to the Centre of Economics and Research (Cebr) between 2017 and 2020, Jersey supported £6 billion of Africa's GDP.

In addition, several African developing markets, including Uganda, Mozambique, Egypt and Senegal benefit directly and indirectly from FDI originating from Jersey to the tune of US$75.8 billion [Source: Jersey Finance Limited's publication "Jersey's Relationship with Africa", July 2021].

Ogier's global Investment Funds and Private Equity teams work with some of the biggest and well-established names in the investment management sector, but also some of the most cutting-edge start-ups.
