Bermuda’s Incorporated Segregated Accounts Act: Six Months on
03 August 2020
In January 2020, Bermuda introduced the Incorporated Segregated Accounts Companies Act (ISAC Act) to allow corporate group structures to operate multiple businesses under one umbrella. The introduction of this new legislation enhances the island’s legislative framework and is designed to offer a new corporate structure aimed at attracting more investors in the Island.
Apex is working with Alpha Innovations Ltd. on the implementation of the Island’s first ISAC structure. Alpha Innovations identified the ISAC structure as most suitable for its needs as it provides a platform for investment managers to launch separate funds from, each with their own investment objectives, policies and strategies.
This month, Apex’s Matthew Charleson and Graham MacDonald wrote for Thomson Reuters Regulatory Intelligence on the ISAC Act and its potential uses. Read Bermuda’s Incorporated Segregated Accounts Act: Six Months On: (subscription required)
