Frequently asked questions about our fund services
The past decade heralded unprecedented levels of change impacting the financial landscape. As your trusted adviser, we gain a deep understanding of your business so we can respond with expertise and insights at the right time. Below, you will find answers to common questions about establishing and administering funds in Gibraltar, giving you the confidence to take charge of change.
Gibraltar offers a robust regulatory framework, competitive tax benefits, and a strategic geographic position. You benefit from a tax-neutral environment, featuring a standard 15 percent corporate tax rate on locally sourced income, with no capital gains, wealth, or withholding taxes. The proactive regulator, the Gibraltar Financial Services Commission (GFSC), ensures regulatory certainty and a commercial environment designed to help you adapt to thrive. Gibraltar AIFMD dual regime ensures flexibility for fund managers.
Experienced investor funds (EIFs) offer a flexible, lightly regulated setup tailored for professional and high-net-worth investors. To ensure strong governance, you must:
· Appoint at least two GFSC-authorised EIF directors.
· Engage a Gibraltar-based or GFSC approved EU fund administrator.
· Appoint licensed local auditor and undertake an annual audit.
· Launch rapidly through a streamlined notification to the GFSC, without requiring prior regulatory approval.
Private funds cater to a defined group of up to 50 qualified investors, such as close contacts or family. They are not regulated funds and remain exempt from licensing, providing a highly efficient and simplified regulatory path. However, recent changes mean that qualifying self-managed private funds are now required to appoint a Gibraltar-based fund administrator, unless an exemption applies This structure is ideal for close investor groups who value flexibility while maintaining confidence in their operations.
