Gibraltar Finance, together with members of the Gibraltar Funds & Investments Association (GFIA), attended and exhibited at the Hedge Fund Startup Forum 2015 in Zurich this week.

Billed as the forum for the next generation of Hedge Fund managers and with over 200 delegates attending, the Gibraltar delegation - which included Gibraltar Finance Senior Executive Philip Canessa -  had the opportunity to explain the benefits of using Gibraltar as the jurisdiction for setting up a hedge fund and passporting throughout the European Union.

During the event, Gibraltar's advantages were also highlighted by a number of international speakers, including a Swiss-based hedge fund manager who is already managing a Gibraltar- based hedge fund.

The Minister for Financial Services and Gaming, The Hon Albert Isola, commented: "The series of Hedge Fund Startup Forums which we are attending afford us the perfect opportunity to inform startup hedge fund managers of the benefits of Gibraltar to set up their fund. With this year's forum in Zurich bigger than last year's, I am greatly encouraged by the fact that our message is being heard internationally and repeated by Swiss professionals in a forum such as this one."
