Jersey
Investment Funds
Away from banking, Jersey plays home to a vast number of blue
chip fund management groups and portfolio managers. Ashburton
(Jersey) effectively spans both of these two groupings. Describing
itself as an “international investment manager”,
the company offers both funds and portfolio management.
One of its recent initiatives was the launch of the US dollar-denominated
International Equity Fund. This mirrors the asset allocation
strategy of the existing sterling fund equivalent which has
attracted £120 million in investments since its launch
in 1992.
Jersey Investment Funds & Trevor Falle
Trevor Falle, Ashburton’s business development director,
said at launch that many expatriates wanted to benefit from the
group’s stock-picking skills but wanted to use a US dollar-based
currency strategy. “There has been considerable demand both
from our international clients and intermediaries to introduce
a US dollar-based equivalent,” he said.
