BVI’s dynamic new fund products

The Securities and Investment Business (Incubator and Approved Funds) Regulations, 2015 which came into force in the British Virgin Islands on 1 June 2015, creates two new, lightly regulated open-ended funds products – the Incubator Fund and Approved Fund. These dynamic new fund products complement the existing offering of Private Funds, Professional Funds, and Public Funds in the BVI. Incubator and Approved Funds are not required to obtain a licence, or be recognised or registered under the Securities and Investment Business Act, 2010, and will not be subject to the Regulatory Code, 2009.
