Jersey Private Fund regime: fast-track fund administration

The Jersey Private Fund (JPF) regime is a streamlined fund framework designed for professional and sophisticated investors. Introduced in 2017 and enhanced in 2025, it offers rapid authorisation, light-touch regulation and broad structural flexibility.

With no limit on the number of participants within a defined restricted group – preserving exclusivity while adding flexibility - the JPF is an attractive option for managers seeking speed to market without the cost and complexity of fully regulated fund products.

JPFs are suitable for

• Private client advisers structuring bespoke investment solutions
• Family offices establishing private investment vehicles
• Private equity, venture capital and real asset managers
• Professional investors - focused investment structures with restricted investor groups
• Cross-border funds marketed on a private placement basis
• Managers seeking a Jersey-administered but operationally light structure

Benefits of JPFs

• Fast-track approval, often within 24 hours of submission
• Light-touch regulation with no requirement for a formal prospectus
• Professional investor focus, including UK FCA professional investors and US accredited investors
• Cost efficiency through reduced regulatory, audit and governance requirements
• Flexibility to market outside the EU/UK or via national private placement regimes
• Optional exchange listing of interests, subject to consent

Typical use cases for JPFs

• Family office co-investment vehicles
• Private equity and venture capital funds
• Real estate holding and development structures
• Club deals for professional or institutional investors
• Feeder funds and parallel structures
• Bespoke investment vehicles for UHNW families
