Event Details
With regulatory, tax, and operational considerations at the forefront, fund managers and investors face a sophisticated landscape when selecting the right fund domicile. This panel will offer a balanced exploration of the world’s leading fund jurisdictions—including the Cayman Islands, Dublin, Luxembourg, Australia, and Singapore—unpacking the core features, benefits, and limitations of each. While established centres like Cayman and Luxembourg continue to attract global capital, Singapore’s Variable Capital Company (VCC) regime is generating increasing interest for its innovative approach and regional connectivity.
Key Discussion Points:
- Comparative analysis of fund vehicles: operational flexibility, regulatory environment, and investor protection across major jurisdictions
- Tax efficiency, access to markets, and structuring options: what sets each region apart?
- Real-world case studies: successes and challenges in launching and managing funds globally
- The evolving role of Asia: How Singapore’s VCC is positioning itself amid traditional fund centres
- Strategic considerations for managers: aligning fund structure with investor needs and investment strategy
- Future trends: What’s next for global fund domiciliation and regulatory convergence?
