What makes Singapore one of Asia's most compelling fund hubs, and
what should European managers know before they go? David Eckner
talks to Armin Choksey, Partner at EY in Singapore, about the
city-state's fund market and the role foreign managers, sponsors
and investors play in it. Armin led the project for Singapore's
Variable Capital Company (VCC) legislation. They discuss why
Singapore appeals as a fund hub, where newcomers misread the
market and how the VCC compares with familiar Luxembourg and
Irish structures. They also cover how to choose between a VCC,
another local structure or an offshore fund with a local
presence, and the most common pitfalls in structuring, substance
and compliance. To close, they look ahead: what would it take for
the VCC to become a mainstream global fund platform?
