Gibraltar Becomes A Recognised Jurisdiction in the BVI for Mutual Funds

December 2001

Gibraltar has recently been approved by the British Virgin Islands Registrar of Mutual Funds as a recognised jurisdiction. This means that in the Registrar’s view it is a jurisdiction with a sufficiently prudent system of regulation/ supervision of mutual fund business in place so as to allow him to approve applications for recognition and registration by British Virgin Islands mutual funds which list a functionary (e.g. a manager) from this jurisdiction. There are now a total of 18 jurisdictions recognised by the Registrar as set out below:

1. United Kingdom
2. United States of America
3. Bermuda
4. Luxembourg
5. Switzerland
6. Ireland
7. Jersey
8. Guernsey
9. Isle of Man
10. Hong Kong
11. France
12. Belgium
13. The Netherlands
14. The British Virgin Islands
15. Singapore
16. Spain
17. Malta
18. Gibraltar
