Investment Funds

Our Experience

We provide legal advice on the formation, on-going obligations and restructuring of BVI hedge funds and private equity and its functionaries (investment managers, investment advisors, custodians, prime broker etc.). We also provide our clients with fund administration services.

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.

A number of senior team members serves as directors of very well-established investment funds.

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

Our team, in conjunction with our listing partner, Hatstone Listing Services Limited, can also assist with the listing of an investment fund on The International Stock Exchange Limited, the Stock Exchange of Mauritius and the Irish Stock Exchange.
