Singapore's Private Funds Boom: A Gateway to Asian Capital Inflows
The article discusses the different private fund options available in Singapore, a popular fund management hub. It explains the key legal issues and considerations for fund managers and investors when setting up a private fund. Singapore offers various fund structures, including the Variable Capital Company (VCC) and limited partnerships, to cater to different fund strategies. The use of private investment funds in Singapore has grown due to the country's pro-business environment and tax incentives.
