Private Funds (Annual Returns) (Amendment) Regulations, 2025 (SL 69 of 2025)

Summary

This is a short amendment regulation made under the Private Funds Act (2025 Revision) that repeals regulation 4 of the Private Funds (Annual Returns) Regulations, 2021. That repealed regulation had previously imposed a fee for the submission of a private fund's annual return to CIMA. By repealing it, the Cabinet has removed the requirement to pay that specific fee for annual return submissions under the Private Funds Act framework.

• Scope: Applies to private funds registered under the Private Funds Act (2025 Revision) that are required to file annual returns with the Cayman Islands Monetary Authority.
• Effect: Does not introduce any new filing, reporting, or substantive compliance requirements; it is a narrow, technical amendment that eliminates a previously existing fee obligation tied to annual return submissions.
• Transitional provisions: No transitional provisions, new deadlines, or additional obligations are set out in the text.
• Content: The document consists mainly of citation and repeal provisions.

The regulation was made in Cabinet on 17 December 2025 and published in the Legislation Gazette on 19 December 2025.
