The Cayman Islands Monetary Authority (CIMA) has now published statistics for the numbers of private investment funds registered with them across various categories and in aggregate (typically excluding PE and VC) as at the end of 2017. (http://www.cima.ky/investment-statistics)
The statistics support 2017 as another year of overall stability - across all categories (aggregated) a fall of 0.25% (in context that is 27 funds down from last year, but the total at end-2017 is 10,559); a gain of 0.52% in the registered category; down 0.77% for master funds; and down 8% for administered funds.
Note: the CIMA do not monitor or publish statistics for those sub-15 investor funds which are structured as unregulated products.
