Guernsey Green Funds

Guernsey Green Funds are a specialized and internationally recognized fund framework designed for investment vehicles that focus on environmentally sustainable and green investment strategies. Established by the Guernsey Financial Services Commission (GFSC), the Green Fund regime provides a clear and credible certification framework that allows fund managers to demonstrate their commitment to genuine green investing while benefiting from Guernsey's well-respected fund domicile. Neptune Fiduciaries helps clients establish and certify their Green Fund in Guernsey, ensuring all green criteria and regulatory requirements are properly met from the very beginning.

Objective

The primary objective of a Guernsey Green Fund is to channel investment capital into environmentally sustainable projects and assets that contribute positively to the global transition toward a low-carbon and climate-resilient economy. Neptune Fiduciaries supports clients in structuring their Green Fund to meet these objectives while maintaining full compliance with the GFSC's green fund framework.

Green Criteria

Climate Change Mitigation

The fund's investments must actively contribute to reducing greenhouse gas emissions and supporting the transition to a low-carbon economy, including investments in renewable energy, energy efficiency, and clean transportation projects.

Climate Change Adaptation

Investments must support efforts to adapt to the physical impacts of climate change, such as flood defenses, sustainable agriculture, and resilient infrastructure projects that protect communities and ecosystems from climate-related risks.

Environmental Sustainability Standards

All investments within the fund must meet internationally recognized environmental sustainability standards and frameworks, ensuring that every asset in the portfolio genuinely contributes to positive environmental outcomes.

Ongoing Green Compliance Monitoring

Fund managers must continuously monitor and report on the green credentials of all investments, ensuring the portfolio remains fully aligned with the GFSC's green criteria and any material changes are promptly disclosed to investors and the regulator.

Certification Process

The certification process for a Guernsey Green Fund involves submitting a detailed application to the GFSC along with an independent assessment from a recognized green framework assessor who verifies that the fund's investment policy and strategy meet all required green criteria. Neptune Fiduciaries manages the entire certification process on your behalf, ensuring all documentation is accurately prepared and submitted for a smooth and timely green fund certification.
