This course will explain techniques to lessen or defer (or accelerate) taxes paid by hedge funds and private equity funds and investors therein, family offices, and managers. Our panel of veteran fund advisers will discuss carried interest, installment sales, deducting worthless investments, Section 163(j) interest deductions, proposed or actual legislation and other tax considerations of investment partnerships.

Description

Year-end is prime time to do tax planning, especially with significant proposed (enacted?) changes. There have been significant tax changes that impact investment partnership and more may be enacted.

Whether through a hedge fund, private equity fund, family office, or individual investments, there are specific steps partnerships and investors can take to mitigate tax. Treatment of gains and losses on sales is key to deferring, mitigating, or avoiding tax on investments.

A Section 475(f) mark-to-market election exempts trades from wash sale adjustments and the capital loss limitation. Once made, however, and whether beneficial or not, the election remains in effect until revoked.

At the forefront of tax concerns for these partnerships and partners is the treatment of carried interest. Currently, Section 1061 requires applicable partnership interests (APIs) to meet a three-year holding requirement to be eligible for long-term capital gains treatment on certain sales.

Tax practitioners working with entities and managers handling investments need to understand the elections, deductions, and planning strategies available to lessen their respective tax burdens.

Listen as our panel of tax experts describes the strategies available to mitigate taxes paid by investment partnerships, their investors and their fund managers.
