Exempt Non-Guernsey Schemes

Exempt Non-Guernsey Schemes

Exempt Non-Guernsey Schemes are collective investment schemes that are established outside of Guernsey but are permitted to be distributed or promoted to investors within the island under a specific exemption framework regulated by the Guernsey Financial Services Commission (GFSC). This exemption route provides a practical and efficient pathway for foreign fund managers and promoters to access Guernsey's investor base without the need to fully register or authorize their scheme under Guernsey's domestic fund legislation. Neptune Fiduciaries helps clients navigate the exemption requirements for non-Guernsey schemes, ensuring all conditions are properly met and the scheme is correctly structured for distribution within Guernsey.

To qualify as an Exempt Non-Guernsey Scheme, the fund must meet specific criteria set out by the GFSC, including being regulated in a recognized jurisdiction, being promoted only to professional or qualifying investors, and meeting all applicable disclosure and reporting standards required under Guernsey's regulatory framework. The scheme must also appoint a local representative or administrator in Guernsey who is responsible for ensuring ongoing compliance with all GFSC requirements and acting as the official point of contact between the foreign scheme and the Guernsey regulator. Neptune Fiduciaries assists clients in meeting all eligibility criteria and appointing the necessary local representatives to ensure smooth and compliant access to Guernsey's investment market.

Whether you are a foreign fund manager looking to promote your scheme to Guernsey investors or an international promoter seeking to take advantage of Guernsey's exemption framework, Neptune Fiduciaries provides complete support throughout the entire process. Our experienced team handles all documentation, GFSC communication, and compliance preparation on your behalf, ensuring your Non-Guernsey Scheme operates within the exemption framework correctly and maintains good standing with the GFSC at all times.
