Terms of use

Who we are

First Fund is a First Offshore brand and a trading name of SGS Ltd, PO Box 565, St. Peter Port, Guernsey GY1 6JW.

What we do and do not do

• We give general guidance about setting up and running funds, and introduce fund managers to service providers.
• We are not a law firm, a fund administrator, an investment manager or a placement agent.
• We do not provide regulated advice. Nothing on this website or in our guidance is investment, legal, tax, regulatory or financial advice, or a recommendation to take or not take any course of action. Take advice from suitably qualified professionals who are authorised to give it before you act.
• We make introductions where we think they suit you, at our discretion. We do not guarantee that a provider will accept you or how it will perform.
• Each provider is responsible for its own services under its own terms with you.

How we are paid

Our guidance and introductions are free to fund managers. A provider we introduced may pay us an introducer commission if you appoint it. We tell you before you decide whether a provider pays us.

Information on this website

We try to keep the website accurate and up to date, but fund rules, costs and timescales change. Figures such as setup costs and registration times are indicative and may not apply to your fund. Check the current position with your advisers before relying on it.

Links to other websites

Links to other websites, including our sister brands and regulators, are for your convenience. We are not responsible for their content.

Our liability

Our guidance is free and general, so we are not liable for any loss arising from your use of this website or from decisions you make based on it, as far as the law allows. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law.

Law

These terms are governed by the law of the Island of Guernsey, and the Guernsey courts deal with any dispute about them. They were last updated in October 2026.
