Guernsey Authorised Closed-Ended Investment Schemes

A Guernsey Authorised Closed-Ended Investment Scheme is a regulated fund structure that has a fixed number of shares or units that are not redeemable on demand by investors, making it particularly well-suited for longer-term and less liquid investment strategies such as private equity, real estate, infrastructure, and venture capital. These schemes are formally authorized by the Guernsey Financial Services Commission (GFSC) and can be listed on a recognised stock exchange, giving investors the ability to buy and sell their interests on the secondary market. Neptune Fiduciaries helps clients establish and authorize their closed-ended investment scheme in Guernsey, ensuring full compliance with GFSC requirements and providing complete support throughout the entire setup and ongoing compliance process.

Key Features

Fixed Capital Structure

A Guernsey Authorised Closed-Ended Investment Scheme has a fixed pool of capital that does not change with investor activity, providing the fund manager with greater certainty and flexibility to pursue long-term investment strategies without the pressure of managing investor redemptions.

Stock Exchange Listing Option

Closed-ended schemes in Guernsey can be listed on a recognised stock exchange such as the London Stock Exchange or the International Stock Exchange (TISE) in Guernsey, providing investors with a liquid exit route through the secondary market without requiring the fund to redeem shares directly.

GFSC Authorization and Oversight

All closed-ended investment schemes must obtain formal authorization from the GFSC before commencing operations, with the application requiring detailed constitutional documents, a prospectus, and evidence that all appointed service providers meet the required regulatory standards.

Flexible Investment Mandate

Guernsey Authorised Closed-Ended Investment Schemes can pursue a wide range of investment strategies and asset classes, giving fund managers significant flexibility to design a fund that meets the specific objectives and risk appetite of their target investor base.
