The Umbrella Fund Reimagined: SACs and the Future of Collective Investment Schemes in Jamaica

July 14, 2026by Dr Dawkins Brown

With the rules of the regime now fully mapped — the ring-fence, the gateway, the governing instrument, the directors’ discipline and the machinery of contained collapse — this series turns to application, and it begins where the impact will likely be felt first: the funds industry. Government commentary on Jamaica’s Segregated Accounts Companies Act, 2024...

When One Account Fails: Receivership, Solvency and the Genius of Contained Collapse

July 14, 2026by Dr Dawkins Brown

Most corporate structures are designed for success and merely endure failure. The segregated accounts company (SAC) is different: it was designed, from its first principles, for the day something fails. Every rule this series has examined — the linking of Article 4, the gateway of Article 5, the governing instrument of Article 6, the directors’...

Directors Beware: Personal Liability and the Disclosure Discipline Every SAC Board Must Master

July 13, 2026by Dr Dawkins Brown

Every statute needs an enforcement engine, and the segregated accounts company (SAC) regime chose its engine deliberately: the personal balance sheet of the director. Where most corporate law sanctions the company and lets individuals shelter behind the veil, the SAC model inverts the design at its most sensitive point — disclosure. A SAC that...

The Governing Instrument: Where SAC Protection Is Won or Lost

July 13, 2026by Dr Dawkins Brown

Every corporate vehicle has a document at its heart. For a company it is the articles; for a trust, the deed; for a partnership, the agreement. For a segregated account inside a Jamaican segregated accounts company (SAC), it is the governing instrument — and this series has already flashed its warning light twice. Article 4...

Article 4 walked through the interior of the segregated accounts company — the linking, the recourse rules, the priority ladder. This article stands at the front door. Becoming a segregated accounts company (SAC) is not a box ticked on an incorporation form; it is a supervised admission, designed by the regional model on which...

Inside the Ring-Fence: How Statutory Segregation Actually Works in a SAC

July 13, 2026by Dr Dawkins Brown

The first three articles in this series established why Jamaica’s Segregated Accounts Companies Act, 2024 matters: it converts asset segregation from a contractual promise into a property of the law, drawing on a quarter-century of Caribbean cell-company practice. This article — the first of the series’ second arc, on the rules themselves — moves...

New legal vehicles usually arrive as strangers. Jamaica’s segregated accounts company (SAC) arrives as family. The SAC that entered Jamaican law in 2024 is the newest member of a lineage that runs back a quarter-century through Nassau and Hamilton to the captive insurance boards of the mid-1990s — a lineage in which every major...

From Contract to Statute: The Asset Protection Gap Jamaica Just Closed

July 12, 2026by Dr Dawkins Brown

Every seasoned Jamaican transaction lawyer has drafted the clause. “The Lender’s recourse shall be limited to the assets of Project A and shall not extend to any other assets of the Borrower.” It is careful, it is customary, and — between the parties who signed it — it works. The uncomfortable truth the market...

One Company, Many Fortresses: Why Jamaica’s Segregated Accounts Companies Act Changes Everything

July 12, 2026by Dr Dawkins Brown

For as long as most Jamaican business owners can remember, there has been exactly one reliable way to stop trouble in one venture from sinking another: incorporate a separate company for each. A developer with four projects formed four companies. A fund manager with six portfolios wrestled with structures that the law never quite supported....

Trouble is not what kills businesses. Untreated trouble is. Most firms do not die of their problems — they die of the year spent not facing them. A turnaround is a sequence, and it begins with a phone call most owners make twelve months too late. The Problem, Lived “Carlton” has run a manufacturing...
