The strength of the funds sector is reflected in its overall scale, with total funds business in Jersey valued at $799.2 billion.

Within this, the total net asset value (NAV) of regulated funds business administered in Jersey rose by 8.3 per cent year-on-year to $668.34 billion. Alternative asset classes account for 88 per cent of the total, underlining Jersey’s specialist funds proposition, with private equity and venture capital funds representing 42 per cent of regulated funds business and real estate funds a further 8.2 per cent. Hedge strategies also recorded notable growth, increasing in value by 54 per cent year-on-year.

In particular, the Jersey Private Fund (JPF) regime maintained growth following a number of enhancements made to the regime in 2025. Included in this, the number of registered JPFs increased from 754 to 850, up 12.7 per cent year-on-year, following the removal of the 50-investor cap in August 2025, 135 JPFs are already operating in the new ‘unlimited investors/offers’ category, representing almost 16 per cent of all JPFs.

The firm highlighted that JPF assets under management (AuM) increased from $113.69 billion to $130.91 billion, an increase of 15.2 per cent year-on-year. Private equity and venture capital remain the largest identifiable JPF investment strategies, representing about 27 per cent of all JPF assets. There has also been strong AuM growth in real estate up 23.8 per cent and hedge up 22.8 per cent.

In tandem, the latest figures from the JFSC show that corporate activity also remained positive over the first half of 2026, with the number of companies now on Jersey’s register standing at 36,577, the highest total on record.

“These figures reinforce a sustained trend we are seeing for high quality, high value institutional investment funds business in Jersey and significant traction for our industry in the private markets space, with the JPF becoming a clear go-to product for professional investors,” Jersey Finance CEO, Joe Moynihan (pictured), said. “The fact that the enhancements made last year have proven to be attractive to the market is a validation of our moves to enable greater access and flexibility for our flagship fund product.”

“Meanwhile, continued strength in corporate activity demonstrates growing international investor demand for hybrid investment and special purpose vehicles alongside our regulated and ‘pure’ fund products,” he continued. “This is in line with our projections, as Jersey’s core institutional, private client and family office investor groups move into new markets that require sophisticated, bespoke and flexible structuring solutions. We fully expect this trajectory to continue, as Jersey continues to provide a stable and certain environment for cross-border structuring.”
