Adv. Roy Engel from our firm recently took part in a webinar on Cayman Islands hedge funds, hosted by the Israel Hedge Fund Association (IHFA). Roy discussed the latest regulatory and corporate governance requirements in the Cayman Islands. The session was both highly relevant and informative.
Corporate / Hedge Funds and Alternative Investments
Israel’s hedge fund sector is growing rapidly and has become a key investment channel for institutional investors, private clients, and technological entrepreneurs. Operating these funds requires complex cross-border legal solutions.
Barnea Jaffa Lande is Israel’s leading authority in the hedge fund field, providing strategic, regulatory, and business support to fund managers, investors, and other entities operating in the sector.
Formation, Registration, and Operation of Global and Local Hedge Funds
Our legal team has many years of experience forming and providing ongoing advice to dozens of hedge funds registered in Israel, the Cayman Islands, Delaware, USA, and other countries. We specialize in drafting formation documents (mainly limited partnership agreements (LPAs)), working with the necessary service providers (accountants and trustees), and formulating an optimal tax strategy for the fund and its investors.
Digital and Crypto Asset Investments in Cayman Islands Hedge Funds
Our firm is at the forefront of financial innovation and is a leading provider of legal services to hedge funds (especially in the Cayman Islands) investing in digital assets, cryptocurrencies, and blockchain technologies. We advise on corporate governance issues, management of the register of beneficial owners, and the regulations applicable to these advanced technology investments.
Financial Regulations and Marketing to Investors in Israel
Although the formation of a hedge fund is not subject to specific Israeli regulations, when a hedge fund manager seeks to solicit investors in Israel, it must comply with the regulations governing investor outreach and the marketing of hedge funds in Israel. As a result, fundraising in Israel requires deep familiarity with Israeli securities laws. Dr. Zvi Gabbay, Adv. Roy Engel, and Barnea Jaffa Lande’s financial regulation team help foreign and local fund managers maintain full compliance with the relevant laws.
General Counsel to the Israeli Hedge Fund Association (IHFA)
Our firm is proud to serve as the general counsel of the IHFA. We represent and promote the interests of the hedge fund sector before various government ministries and regulatory authorities. Our team sets professional standards in the market and regularly lectures at international conferences on topics such as the management of due diligence processes by fund managers and the integration of AI technologies in trading.
