Ocorian welcomes Jersey’s enhancement of the private fund regime

Ocorian, a leading global asset service provider, welcomes the major enhancements to the Jersey Private Fund (JPF) regime, effective 6 August 2025 introduced by the Government of Jersey and the Jersey Financial Services Commission. These changes expand fund structuring flexibility, accelerate deployment, and broaden investor access, enhancing Jersey’s appeal as a jurisdiction of choice for asset managers seeking speed, scale, global reach, and liquidity.

Gerry Warwick, Director, Fund Services UK & Channel Islands, at Ocorian, comments: “Jersey offers world-class service providers and a straightforward regulatory regime offering great quality, value, and agility, most recently evidenced by the enhancements to the JPF regime. The removal of the 50-investor cap, combined with a 24-hour authorisation process, significantly boosts managers’ ability to scale swiftly. Coupled with expanded UK and US investor access and newfound listing opportunities, Jersey’s JPF retains its streamlined ethos while becoming more globally powerful.”

Richard Hansford, Head of European Fund Sales, at Ocorian, adds: “The enhancements to the JPF are a game-changer for managers. Our migration expertise helps legacy JPFs transition smoothly to benefit from the relaxed cap and investor definitions. Fund sponsors can immediately benefit from faster time to market, broader investor definitions under coherent EU/UK/US marketing frameworks, and smoother transitions to expanded-cap structures. The upgrades make Jersey an even more attractive place for fund managers and investors seeking a sophisticated, full-service offering.”
