The two main types of fund that are established in Gibraltar are Private Funds (PF) and Experienced Investor Funds (EIF).
EIFs are authorised and regulated by the Gibraltar Financial Services Commission (GFSC) and are created as collective investment schemes that are solely for experienced investors.
Main features of EIFs:
As a collective investment scheme, the Private Fund can be made available privately to an identifiable group of up to 50 participants.
The main advantages of a Private Fund in Gibraltar are its speed to market, lower associated cost, and the requirement for just a simple registration with the Gibraltar regulator.
Main features of Private Funds:
The EIF is the main type of fund used to support investments in cryptocurrencies, tokenised securities and other digital assets which have been the main driver of growth for Gibraltar’s fund industry in recent years.
We are at the forefront of this exciting and rapidly evolving digital transformation and have built a solid understanding of crypto assets, mainly from first-hand experience gained whilst providing services to crypto funds. We have developed a real sense of the challenges faced by the promotors and operators of crypto funds and have learned how to overcome them and find compliant solutions that may stem from our know-how of traditional financial services or, very often, from innovative blockchain-inspired outcomes.
Gibraltar has strengthened its position as a leading player in the fund industry.
A solid infrastructure, robust regulatory regime and favourable tax system has allowed Gibraltar to uniquely position itself as a high-quality, well-regulated fund servicing jurisdiction. Gibraltar’s appetite for digital innovation combined with the industry’s forward-thinking mindset, makes it an attractive jurisdiction for those looking for the best domicile for their fund.
GFIA is an association that represents the interests of the funds and investments sector in Gibraltar. It is very active in the development of the Gibraltar funds industry, advises the Government of Gibraltar on fund matters and engages with industry practitioners to provide training and guidance related to funds as well as publishing codes of conduct for Gibraltar Collective Investment Schemes.
Abacus is a corporate member of GFIA and adheres to the high standards of Gibraltar’s sophisticated fund industry. More information on GFIA can be found on their website https://gfia.gi/.
Gibraltar’s low corporate and personal tax regimes make it a very attractive location when compared to other European jurisdictions. Gibraltar offers a corporate tax rate of 10% and all income received by a Gibraltar fund accruing and deriving outside of Gibraltar is not liable to taxation. In addition to this, there is no VAT or capital gains tax and no dividend or withholding tax for non-Gibraltar residents.
Typically, a well-structured fund that does not have income accruing in or deriving from Gibraltar will not be subject to Gibraltar taxation.
Gibraltar is an attractive location in which to set up a fund. For those funds that are already established outside of Gibraltar and are considering the merits of changing their fund’s domicile, it is worth noting that it is possible to re-domicile a fund to Gibraltar.
