BVI provides light-touch regulation for smaller managers
Wed, 16 Jan 2013, 12:17
By James Williams – On the 10 December 2012, the BVI took a step forward in enhancing its competitive image with the introduction of a lighter touch regulation for smaller BVI-domiciled fund managers. Entitled the Investment Business (Approved Managers) Regulations (“Approved Managers Regulations”), the regime complements the existing Securities and Investment Business Act, 2010 (SIBA), and whilst not going as far as Cayman with its exempt manager regime, it is hoped that the new regulations will entice more managers to the BVI.

Administrators have to be responsive to shareholders
Wed, 16 Jan 2013, 12:30
By Mara Spencer – Despite fund numbers remaining suppressed in the BVI, 2012 was actually a strong year for us. Not that there was an influx of new funds coming through the door, but rather that a number of our existing clients, who have been in business for a number of years and developed good track records, expanded their fund offering(s).

Wed, 16 Jan 2013, 12:40
