Carey Olsen advised India-based investment firm Quantum Advisors India on the launch of its Jersey fund, Q India Advantage Fund. The Carey Olsen team advising Quantum Advisors comprised partner Chris Griffin, regulatory specialist Sophie Hancock and associate Tshogofatso Dhlamini. Chris Griffin commented: "We greatly enjoyed helping Quantum to increase its distribution channels with its Jersey feeder, particularly given the exciting Indian growth strategy.
