Investment Funds

Our Experience

We advise on, and a number of our lawyers have been on the boards of, a full suite of funds, including simple private equity structures, unregulated funds, listed funds, expert funds and open-ended collective investment funds across a range of asset classes. Our clients range from start-up projects to the leading promoters and asset managers. We regularly act for private equity houses, investment managers, pension funds, institutional investors, ultra-high-net-worth individuals and private banks.

Through our offices in Jersey, Panama and South Africa, we are familiar with investment structures seeking to invest in emerging markets.
