Insights from the Guernsey Funds Forum

We’re committed to staying at the forefront of innovation, not just in how we serve our clients, but in how we anticipate what’s next.

The Guernsey Funds Forum sparked conversations that continue to shape the future of private capital. Here are three standout themes that are driving momentum across the industry from Altum Group’s Owen Hunt.

AI and data-driven investing

Steven Hillion of Astronomer Inc. made it clear AI isn’t just influencing venture capital, it’s rewriting the rules. Investors now expect 2:1 returns or better, and innovation is moving faster than ever. It’s very clear that technology has moved from the back office to the boardroom and is now a core lever for capital deployment.

Sustainability, the smart bet

Sustainability has moved from the margins to mainstream. From biotech and life sciences to energy efficiency and next-gen data centres, these sectors aren’t just good for the planet they’re powering resilient, future-ready growth.

Regulation at speed

Guernsey continues to lead with agile, high-quality fund solutions including the new PIF regime. Less friction, faster launches, and deep regulatory know-how are giving managers a real edge.
