Bhutan’s Gelephu Mindfulness City announces a new policy framework covering family offices and investment funds. The policy allows such entities to invest broadly, including in assets such as stocks, property, digital assets, and commodities. It also says there are no restrictions on the investor profile for those investing through these structures.
The city presents the framework as part of its special administrative approach that blends traditional Bhutanese values with globally recognized legal frameworks. Other elements highlighted in coverage include use of legal and regulatory structures aligned with international standards, alongside technology and modern planning features associated with the Gelephu project. Sources describe the policy as an enabling measure aimed at attracting investment, but they do not specify further details such as licensing timelines, eligibility criteria for managers, or specific compliance requirements.
Across the articles, the main emphasis differs in tone and focus: one outlet foregrounds the investment scope and investor eligibility, while the other emphasizes the broader concept of integrating Bhutan’s values with international legal frameworks.
