  Guadeloupe Fund - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
On March 3, 1813, the island of Guadeloupe was ceded by Britain to "His Royal Majesty the King of Sweden, and his successor to the Swedish throne" according to the Act of Succession of September 26, 1810.
Guadeloupe was conveniently located in proximity to the Swedish colony of Saint-Barthélemy.
In the middle of the 20th century the scheme came under close scrutiny and, following a settlement between the Crown and the House of Bernadotte, the last payment of the fund was made in 1983.

 Caribbean Net News: Cayman Islands Monetary Authority marks 10,000th fund registration
The first is that The Rutland Fund was the 10,000th fund to be approved by the Authority since the passage of the Mutual Funds Law in 1993 paved the way for the development of investments and securities businesses in and from the Cayman Islands.
Under the terms negotiated for the application of the EUSD to funds domiciled in Cayman, approximately 98 percent of such funds are exempt from the reporting obligations of the directive.
Paul Scrivener, partner of Solomon Harris, the law firm handling The Rutland Fund’s transfer and registration, says this is ironic, because although Bermuda and the Bahamas had initially seen the EUSD as a great opportunity to develop their funds business at the expense of Cayman, the opposite has happened.

Donaldson added that the agency has tried to curb such activities by requiring hedge fund managers to register with the agency and open their books to periodic, random review by SEC examiners.
