Singapore has distinguished itself as a prominent global financial services centre through its reputation, strategic location, stable government, robust tax and regulatory environment, and exceptionally efficient yet cost-effective legal and financial ecosystem.
As per the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS), Singapore has more than SGD 3.4 trillion assets under management and more than 890 registered and licensed fund managers. In addition, to position Singapore as a leading fund domiciliation hub, MAS and Accounting and Corporate Regulatory Authority (ACRA) launched the new Variable Capital Companies (VCC) framework in January 2020 to provide a new corporate structure for investment funds, which emulates the best features of similar corporate fund vehicles prevalent globally.
