Event Details
We are delighted to invite you to a two-part evening with SFDA x PwC: Beyond Day One (Panel Discussion), followed by our SFDA Annual Marquee & Gathering.
PART ONE | SFDA x PwC: Beyond Day One: Keeping Your SPV Compliant, Controlled and Exit-Ready
In conjunction with PwC
Last year’s “Getting the SPV Right from Day One” session covered how to set up and run Singapore SPVs. This follow-up picks up from there: once an SPV is live, how does a fund manager keep it compliant, controlled and ready for financing, audit, regulatory scrutiny and exit?
Our panel will follow the SPV through its lifecycle, from first transaction and recurring books, tax and filings to board oversight, portfolio scale and eventual exit. You can expect a moderated discussion with practical examples and time for your questions, and you will take away:
- How SPV disciplines need to operate after incorporation, not just at setup or filing time
- Where seemingly minor gaps turn into tax leakage, audit friction, regulatory exposure or exit delays
- How a connected record across accounting, tax, corporate filings and board reporting keeps a growing portfolio consistent and audit-ready
- Practical controls, information flows and escalation points to apply across a portfolio of SPVs, including where AI and automation help and where human review still matters
PART TWO | SFDA Annual Marquee & Gathering
Stay on and join us for our year-end gathering, a relaxed opportunity for members to catch up. Our Chairman will share highlights from the year and key events to look forward to in the year ahead.
The evening will also be a graduation ceremony for members who completed the Certificate in Fund Governance over the last six months. We warmly invite our graduates to join us so we can celebrate their achievements together.
