Jersey’s finance industry has reported robust growth across its funds, banking and corporate sectors, according to the most recent figures collated by the Jersey Financial Services Commission (JFSC) for the period ending 30 June 2026.

The strength of the funds sector is reflected in its overall scale, with total funds business in Jersey valued at $799.2 billion​.

Within this, the total net asset value (NAV) of regulated funds business administered in Jersey rose by 8.3% year-on-year to US$668.34 billion. Alternative asset classes account for 88% of the total, underlining Jersey’s specialist funds proposition, with private equity and venture capital funds representing 42% of regulated funds business and real estate funds a further 8.2%. Hedge strategies recorded notable growth, increasing in value by 54% year-on-year.

 In particular, the Jersey Private Fund (JPF) regime maintained impressive growth following a number of enhancements made to the regime in 2025. Notably:

·        the number of registered JPFs increased from 754 to 850, up 12.7% year-on-year

·        following the removal of the 50-investor cap in August 2025, 135 JPFs are already operating in the new ‘unlimited investors/offers’ category, representing almost 16% of all JPFs

·        JPF Assets Under Management (AUM) increased from US$113.69bn to US$130.91bn, an increase of 15.2% year-on-year

·        private equity and venture capital remain the largest identifiable JPF investment strategies, representing approximately 27% of all JPF assets. There has also been particularly strong AUM growth in real estate (up 23.8%) and hedge (up 22.8%).

In tandem, the latest figures from the JFSC show that corporate activity also remained strongly positive over the first half of 2026, with the total number of companies now on Jersey’s register standing at 36,577 – the highest total on record.

Jersey’s banking sector also remained stable, with total deposits standing at £193.5bn at the end of June 2026. This represents an increase of 3.6% since the end of 2025 and year-on-year by 5.9%.

Commenting on the figures, Jersey Finance CEO, Joe Moynihan, said: “These figures reinforce a sustained trend we are seeing for high quality, high value institutional investment funds business in Jersey and significant traction for our industry in the private markets space, with the JPF becoming a clear go-to product for professional investors. The fact that the enhancements made last year have proven to be attractive to the market is a validation of our moves to enable greater access and flexibility for our flagship fund product.

“Meanwhile, continued strength in corporate activity demonstrates growing international investor demand for hybrid investment and special purpose vehicles alongside our regulated and ‘pure’ fund products. This is in line with our projections, as Jersey’s core institutional, private client and family office investor groups move into new markets that require sophisticated, bespoke and flexible structuring solutions. We fully expect this trajectory to continue, as Jersey continues to provide a stable and certain environment for cross-border structuring.”

Joel Hernandez, Chairman of the Jersey Funds Association added: “The continued growth of the Jersey Private Fund is a strong reflection of what the international funds market is looking for: a regime that is flexible, proportionate and able to evolve in response to changing investor and manager needs.

“The latest figures are particularly encouraging following the enhancements introduced last year. The growth in both the number of JPFs and assets under management, alongside the early uptake of the unlimited investor option, demonstrates that those changes are translating into meaningful activity. For Jersey’s funds industry, this reinforces the importance of continuing to listen to the market and ensuring our proposition remains competitive, practical and relevant to the needs of international fund managers and investors.”
