- Segregation of assets and liabilities - The VCC allows for segmented investment portfolios through sub-funds, which means assets and liabilities can be separated and ring-fenced.
- Flexibility - Investors have the flexibility to enter and exit the VCC sub-fund as they wish at net asset value.
- Singapore DTA’s - Investors are able to leverage Singapore’s tax treaties for better cross-border investments.
- Dividend distribution - Unlike with a traditional corporate vehicle, where dividends can only be distributed from profits, the dividends of a VCC can be distributed from the structure’s capital.
- Privacy - While a Singapore company is required to maintain a register of 'registrable controllers' being persons having a 'significant interest' or 'significant control' - this register for the VCC does not have to be made public. From 2020, the register will be centrally maintained but still be a non-public register.
- Strong regulatory oversight - Regulatory oversight by MAS whilst being regulated by ACRA.
