This CLE/CPE course will provide tax counsel and advisers with advanced guidance on structuring private equity and real estate investment funds. The panel will discuss critical considerations in light of proposed new tax laws and address fund manager and fund investor issues.

Description

In structuring private equity and real estate funds, the competing tax preferences of different types of fund investors are critical. The different types include U.S. taxable, U.S. tax-exempt, U.S. government, non-U.S. taxable, non-U.S. pension funds, and non-U.S. sovereign investors. Fund structures can use "blockers", “Subsidiary REITs” and feeder funds to address these various interests and minimize U.S. taxes and tax filing obligations.

Our panel will outline structures typically used, taking into account the type of U.S.-based funds, such as standard private equity and U.S. real property.

Tax counsel must also understand current issues, such as FATCA for non-U.S. investment entities and investors, the impact of tax reform for both fund managers and fund investors, and carried interest rules.

The program will conclude with an overview of typical investment fund documents and tax provisions including fund PPM, subscription agreement, and side letters.

Listen as our authoritative panel of practitioners provides a high-level analysis of the different and competing tax preferences of fund investors and fund managers and outlines sophisticated best practices for structuring investment funds to accommodate the myriad interests of these investors and managers.
