Fiona Le Poidevin, the chief executive of Guernsey Finance, explains how Guernsey can satisfy India’s ever-increasing demands

The Indian economy remains both a fascinating and complex one. While a recent forecast by the Reserve Bank of India saw growth projections scaled down to 5% for 2013/14, this figure is still attractive to those in the West who are looking to provide inward investment.

Guernsey’s funds industry, with its considerable experience in infrastructure funds and raising capital through European markets, is well placed to assist India with the challenges it faces in its development. For example, the recent London Stock Exchange (LSE) listing of Guernsey closed-ended investment company The Renewables Infrastructure Group (TRIG), illustrates the capabilities that exist through using Guernsey as a domicile in which to structure and service alternative investment vehicles. It was the UK’s largest initial public offering of a clean-power company, having raised more than £300 million to invest in a wind and solar energy generation assets across Europe.

Guernsey also has experience of incorporating India-focused funds and providing other services for the Indian market. Indeed, a number of Guernsey investment fund structures have already listed on European exchanges with the aim of investing in Indian infrastructure. India Capital Growth Fund, iEnergizer, Indus Gas, Kolar Gold, Skil Ports & Logistics and Mytrah Energy are all Guernsey-incorporated entities which are currently listed on the Alternative Investment Market (AIM) of the LSE.
