Guernsey Open-Ended Scheme

A Guernsey Open-Ended Scheme is a collective investment structure that allows investors to subscribe for and redeem shares or units directly from the fund at any time based on the current net asset value, making it a highly flexible and accessible investment vehicle for a wide range of investor types. Guernsey's well-respected regulatory framework, political stability, and experienced financial services industry make it an ideal jurisdiction for establishing open-ended investment schemes. Neptune Fiduciaries helps clients establish and authorize their open-ended scheme in Guernsey, ensuring full compliance with GFSC requirements and providing complete support throughout the entire setup process.

Classes of Funds

Class A Funds

Class A funds are authorized for distribution to the general public and retail investors, requiring the highest level of regulatory oversight, strict investment restrictions, and detailed investor disclosure requirements to ensure the protection of all retail investors participating in the scheme.

Class B Funds

Class B funds are designed for more sophisticated and experienced investors, offering greater flexibility in investment strategy and a wider range of permitted investments compared to Class A funds, while still maintaining the regulatory standards required by the GFSC.

Class Q Funds

Class Q funds are exclusively available to qualifying professional investors and institutional clients, offering the most flexible regulatory framework among the open-ended fund classes, with fewer investment restrictions and a streamlined authorization process with the GFSC.

Registered Funds

Registered funds are a lighter-touch alternative to fully authorized open-ended schemes, available exclusively to qualified investors, offering a faster and more cost-effective route to market while still operating within Guernsey's well-regulated fund environment.

Restrictions

Open-ended schemes in Guernsey must comply with investment restrictions set out in their approved prospectus and constitutional documents, ensuring the fund operates strictly within its stated investment mandate and does not deviate from the parameters approved by the GFSC. Neptune Fiduciaries ensures all restriction requirements are clearly documented and properly embedded into the fund's governance framework from the very start.
