Highlights & Benefits

Targeted Investment Strategy

Closed-ended frameworks inherently lock in capital, providing ideal structural stability for private equity, real estate, and infrastructure funds

Flexible Custody Requirements

Entities bypass mandatory local custodian appointments, as the GFSC deems a designated custodian optional if appropriate custody arrangements exist

Mandatory Local Administration

The framework legally embeds robust governance by mandating the appointment of a GFSC-licensed administrator to conduct day-to-day operations

Predictable Regulatory Timeline

The structured GFSC authorization process for closed-ended schemes provides a definitive regulatory timeline of approximately 45 business days

Comprehensive Lifecycle Management

Ongoing compliance requires strict adherence to regulatory reporting rules, which includes submitting audited accounts, filing annual returns, and disclosing any material changes

FAQs

What is a Guernsey Authorised Closed-ended Collective Investment Scheme?

It is a regulated investment fund where investors are not entitled to redeem or repurchase their units on demand, governed by the Guernsey Financial Services Commission (GFSC).

What is the difference between an Authorised Scheme and a Registered Scheme?

An Authorised Scheme undergoes a standard regulatory review taking approximately 45 working days, whereas a Registered Scheme benefits from a 3-working-day fast-track registration process.

Does an authorised closed-ended scheme require a local administrator?

Yes. The GFSC strictly mandates that every authorised scheme appoint a designated administrator licensed in Guernsey.

Do I need to appoint a custodian or trustee for the fund?

No. For closed-ended authorised schemes, appointing a designated custodian or trustee is optional, provided that proper custody arrangements are clearly established and documented.
