We released the first edition of our Fund Domiciliation report in 2020, and, against the backdrop of an ever-evolving regulatory landscape, we have worked on an updated version of our report.
The 2022 edition aims to provide fund managers with a composite overview of the most popular jurisdictions for alternative funds, guiding them in this crucial selection process.
The alternative asset management industry has been growing recently, and this is obviously good news for the jurisdictions which house their funds. Forecasts, such as those by Preqin, suggest that the growth will continue over the next five years – and, indeed, may well even grow stronger.
In the past, fund domiciliation decision-making was predominantly influenced by factors such as the reputation of a jurisdiction, investor sentiment, set-up timelines and processes, regulations, costs, and the quality of the service providers. When writing our 2022 report, we’ve also taken into consideration additional aspects, such as Base Erosion and Profit Shifting (BEPS), the current geo-political situation, and the drive to introduce local economic substance requirements for companies’ tax residency. Domicile decision-making for the alternative fund industry has entered the era of geographic challenges and opportunities.
