The Cayman Islands’ Anti-Money Laundering (AML) Regulations 2017 (AML Regulations) which came into effect on 02 October 2017 introduced a number of new requirements for Cayman financial service providers, which includes Cayman investment funds. The primary aim of the new requirements is to bring Cayman in line with international best practices. One of the most significant changes introduced by the AML Regulations impacting Cayman funds is the requirement to appoint AML officers.
