The Cayman Islands offers a robust a mutual fund registration that provides the asset manager with significant flexibility in terms of asset class and investment strategy. As a result, a majority of the world’s hedge funds have flocked to the Cayman Islands for this well-recognized, cost effective hedge fund registration structure.

Advantages of a Cayman Islands Mutual Fund

Since the advent of hedge funds in the 1970’s, asset managers have flocked to tax-advantaged jurisdictions to shelter their above-market gains from punitive tax rates in traditional jurisdictions such as the United States and United Kingdom.
