Broad array of structuring options<br />

The choice of an investment fund’s domicile and jurisdiction has<br />

far-reaching consequences in terms of the structures that are<br />

available. These include the tax implications for the fund and its<br />

investors, the regulatory environment, the applicable investment<br />

restrictions, the means of distributing the fund’s units in<br />

other jurisdictions, restrictions on unit ownership, and the legal<br />

duties to be performed by the fund’s service providers.<br />

At <strong>VP</strong> <strong>Fund</strong> <strong>Solutions</strong>, therefore, we believe that the first step<br />

towards building a successful partnership is to familiarise<br />

ourselves thoroughly with the project details that you submit<br />

to us. We are then able to propose a suitable investment<br />

fund solution, carefully selected from the wide range of<br />

options available through our local affiliates.<br />
