      Waystoneアセット・マネジメント・プラットフォーム

      2005年1月以来、Waystoneアセット・マネジメント(ケイマン)リミテッド(以下、WAM Cayman)は、ホスト型ケイマン規制対象資産管理サービスを提供してきました。規制遵守にかかるコストが増加する中、ホスト型管理ソリューションに対する需要はかつてなく高まっています。Waystoneのケイマン諸島のホスト型管理ソリューションは、Waystoneグループが提供する広範なサービスによって補完されており、国際的な機関や資産運用会社による、効率的なストラクチャーの構築を通じた資金調達および投資目的の追求をサポートするために、包括的な規制ソリューションを提供することで優位性を発揮しています。

      Waystoneグループが提供するホスト型管理ソリューションは非常に人気があり、世界全体で2,500億ユーロを超える資産を管理しており、ケイマン諸島だけに絞っても、130億米ドルを超える資産を管理しています。

      今年、WAM Caymanチームは、以下のような複数のソリューションの構築に注力してきました。

      • 日本市場向けデイトレード・プラットフォーム
        • Waystoneアセット・マネジメント・ソリューションズは、ポジションをヘッジし日々のボラティリティを管理できるようデイトレードが可能な投資ファンドを組成したい、というグローバルな金融機関のお客様の声にお応えし、複数のケイマン籍ミューチュアルファンド(トラスト・シリーズ形式)の設立を支援するために、斬新な措置をいくつか講じました。その一環として、たとえば、ホスト型規制対象管理サービスを活用するケイマン諸島担当マネージャーやアイルランドのホスト型管理サービスを活用するアイルランド担当投資マネージャー、さらには、Waystoneのファンド管理ビジネスである「Centaur」のデイトレードNAV計算専任チームの中から、オーバーナイトでデイトレードのNAVを計算する担当者を配置しました。
        • 現在10を超えるシリーズ・ファンドが設立され、2024年初めにはさらに12のファンドが追加されることが予定されており、Waystoneは、日本市場におけるデイトレードファンド・ストラクチャーのプロバイダーとして際立つ存在となっています。
      • QPAMによるAIFの運用 – ERISA取引プラットフォーム
        • WAM Caymanは、ヨーロッパの大手信用供与プロバイダーと連携し、提供する規制対象のホスト型管理サービスを活用して、ERISA投資家から資金を調達し、英国を拠点とするQPAMが特定・管理するプライベート・クレジット投資商品に投資できるファンド・プラットフォームを開発しました。
        • Waystoneは、ケイマン諸島に拠点を置くガバナンス&規制サービスと組み合わせた規制対象の管理サービスとしてERISAファンドを設立し、必要なサポートインフラおよび管理サービスを提供できるようになりました。
        • ファンドのローンチは大成功を収め、運用資産残高は2024年の目標である10億米ドルを上回る勢いです。
      • ファンド・プラットフォームの運営
        • Waystoneはこれまで、数百万ドル規模のファンドのローンチをいくつも手掛け、WAM Caymanはそのプラットフォームを運営してきました。
        • WAM Caymanはプラットフォームの運営者として、効率的な単一連絡窓口を提供し、ローンチのあらゆる側面を調整しています。
        • Waystoneの市場での高いプレゼンスにより、ファンド・プラットフォームご契約者様は、顧問弁護士や管理者、監査人によるサービスを優先ベンダー料金でご利用いただけます。
        • もう1つの大きな利点は、ファンドのローンチまでにかかる時間を短縮できることです。Waystoneプラットフォームは、プロジェクトを一元管理することにより、新規ファンドのローンチにかかる日数を約45日に短縮します。

      ケイマン諸島、FATFのグレーリストから除外

      FATFは2023年10月25~27日にパリで総会を開催し、強化モニタリング対象国・地域リスト(通称、グレーリスト)からケイマン諸島を除外するという決定を発表しました。

      ケイマン諸島は、FATFの第4回相互審査の結果に基づき、2021年2月にグレーリストに初めて指定されました。FATFが、ある国・地域をモニタリング対象にするということは、その国または地域が、特定された戦略上の欠陥を合意された期限内に迅速に是正することを約束し、その履行状況がモニタリングの対象となることを意味します。実際、ケイマン諸島は、FATFおよびCFATF(カリブ金融活動作業部会)と協力し、AML/CFT態勢の実効性を強化し、以下の実施を含めた戦略上の欠陥に対処するための行動計画の実行に引き続き取り組む、という高官レベルでの政治的公約をしました。

      • (1)効果的、適切かつ抑止的な制裁を適用し、違反が効果的かつ速やかに是正されることを保証するため、義務を負う主体に対して行政罰および強制措置を講じる。
      • (2)関連当事者(法人を含む)が正確、適切かつ最新の受益所有権情報を提出しない場合には、適切かつ効果的な制裁を課す。および、
      • (3)国・地域のリスク・プロフィールに沿って、あらゆる種類のマネーロンダリングが訴追され、その結果、抑止的、効果的かつ適切な制裁につながっていることを実証する。

      ケイマン諸島のグレーリストからの除外は、9月初旬のFATFによる現地視察後が成功裏に終わったことを受けており、ケイマン諸島政府は、進化するグローバル課題および基準に同地域が確実に対応できるよう、引き続きAML態勢を強化していく予定です。

      FATF総会は、第4回相互審査で特定された戦略上の欠陥への対処におけるケイマン諸島の著しい改善を高く評価しました。FATFは2025年に第5回相互審査を開始し、ケイマン諸島の審査は2026年に開始される予定です。それまで、ケイマン諸島は、欧州連合(EU)のAMLブラックリストから除外されることが予想されます。

      年間費の改定

      2023年11月1日、ケイマン諸島金融サービス・商務省は、ケイマン諸島政府による過去10年間の会社登記(特にテクノロジー面)への多額の投資を考慮し、2024年1月1日以降、ケイマン諸島に登記している会社に適用される年間費をわずかに増額する旨を発表しました。尚、年間費は過去10年間ほぼ一貫しており、改定は行われてきませんでした。

      これに伴い、新しい年間費は以下のようになります。金額の通貨は、すべてKYD(ケイマン諸島ドル )です。

      ケイマン諸島取締役登録&ライセンシング法(DRLA)

      近年、年間費や登録抹消料の未払いなど、ケイマン諸島取締役登録&ライセンシング法(DRLA)を遵守しなかった取締役に対して、罰則が課せられているケースが多発しています。

      対象事業体の取締役をまだ務めていない自然人または法人は、任命前に適切な登録またはライセンスを申請し、取得する必要があります。 年間費は毎年1月15日が支払い期限となっています。

      すべての対象事業体から退任した場合でも、登録は自動的には抹消されず、登録取締役であれば600ドル(ライセンス取締役は800ドル)の登録抹消料を支払う必要があります。DRLAに基づく取締役登録義務の不遵守は犯罪行為に当たり、いわゆる略式起訴で有罪判決を受けた場合、最大約60,000米ドルの罰金および/または最長12か月の禁錮刑が科せられます。
