The Guernsey-incorporated Alternative Liquidity Fund will invest in a diversified portfolio of illiquid interests in funds and other instruments and securities.

It has a single class of ordinary shares in issue listed on the premium segment of the Official List and traded on the London Stock Exchange’s Main Market.

Tim Gardner, managing director of Morgan Creek Capital Management Europe, added: “We have been exceedingly impressed with Guernsey as a jurisdiction and the services offered to our latest fund. We look forward to a successful performance of Alternative Liquidity Fund Limited.”
