The introduction of Singapore's new Variable Capital
Company (VCC) provides clear opportunities for investment fund
structuring and domiciliation, explains Jay Moghe, Director - Head of Asia Pacific
Sales and Business Development, as he reflects on our webinar exploring the pros, cons and
practical considerations of the new VCC structure.
Launched on 15 January 2020, the Variable Capital Company (VCC)
is Singapore's latest investment fund innovation. It has been
introduced with the aim of increasing the city-state's
attractiveness as a competitive asset management hub in the
Asia-Pacific region.
A VCC facilitates domiciliation of investment funds in Singapore
across traditional and alternative fund vehicles for both open- and
closed-ended types. In addition, corporations that are set up as
funds in other jurisdictions can also be inwardly re-domiciled as
VCCs.
