Investment Funds Tax

Our investment funds team works across various types of collective investment vehicles set up to manage a wide range of investors' money. We advise leading players in the financial services market, particularly with regard to new fund products and services. Our lawyers work closely with clients to ensure that an investment in a fund won't give rise to a higher tax cost for the investor than a direct investment in the fund's underlying investment. We advise on various forms of investment funds including authorised unit trusts, open-ended investment companies, limited partnerships, offshore trusts and offshore companies.
