Harnessing nearly 20 years of investment experience across geographies, sectors and market cycles, Ormer is focused on equity investing into a concentrated portfolio of exceptional smaller businesses across developed markets.<\/p>\n<p>The fund, Ormer Capital Funds PCC Limited, was launched using the <a href=\"https:\/\/iqeq.com\/insights\/greater-flexibility-for-guernsey-pif-regime-with-updated-rules\/\">recently revised<\/a> Guernsey Private Investment Fund (PIF) regime. It is structured as an open-ended Qualifying PIF using the Guernsey protected cell fund structure, with Ormer Equity Partners as its first cell.<\/p>\n<p>IQ-EQ provided full fund administration support throughout the establishment and initial closing of Ormer Equity Partners. The engagement was led by Elaine Smeja, Director, Funds, with support from Aimee Gontier, Senior Manager, and Jason Baker, Assistant Manager, whose expertise and commitment helped deliver a smooth and successful launch process.<\/p>\n<p>The fund&#8217;s legal advisers were Collas Crill, who provided legal counsel throughout the structuring, launch and closing of the fund.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Jacques Vermeulen<\/strong>, Business Development Director at IQ-EQ, commented:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re delighted to have supported Ormer Capital on the launch and close of its first fund. Supporting Guernsey-based businesses and emerging fund managers is an important part of our heritage, and this transaction highlights the strength of Guernsey\u2019s investment funds industry. We look forward to continuing our partnership with Ormer Capital as the business grows.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Adam Cox<\/strong>, Co-founder and Executive Director of Ormer Capital, said:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It was a pleasure working with the team at IQ-EQ to bring our inaugural fund, Ormer Equity Partners, to market. Their expertise and ongoing support were instrumental throughout the launch process and have provided a strong operational foundation as we continue to grow the fund and build relationships with long-term, like-minded investors who share our patient approach to compounding capital.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe name Ormer comes from a Channel Islands tradition: a low-tide harvest of prized shellfish, governed by strict rules, undertaken patiently, and rewarding only those who know exactly what they\u2019re looking for. It\u2019s a fitting metaphor for how we invest, and we\u2019re thankful to IQ-EQ for helping us bring this vision to life.\u201d<\/p>\n
