Figures in the report also show that Crestbridge added $1.6bn in new funds business in Jersey over the past twelve months, the fourth best performance of all administrators in Jersey.
Michael Newton, Head of Fund Services at Crestbridge, said: “These are strong figures and a reflection of the growth we’ve seen across our global funds business in recent years, including here in Jersey. Our focus is on supporting fund managers and helping them to be successful and generate returns for investors, and the fact that we’ve seen such strong growth in Jersey in new business over the past year is evidence that we are achieving that.”
Also highlighted in the report are figures for Jersey’s funds industry as a whole, which show that, as of 30 June 2018, total net assets stood at US$411.1bn, up 19% on 2017 and the highest level ever recorded.
Michael added: “From a jurisdictional point of view, it’s also really positive that Jersey is clearly continuing to prove an attractive proposition, not just as a European funds centre but as a funds centre with real, global expertise and capabilities right across the alternatives space.”
