Family Investment Companies - Are They Here to Stay?
Introduction
Family investment companies (‘FICs’) are undoubtedly the in-vogue estate planning vehicle, but are they here to stay?
There are known changes to tax rates coming in over the next few years and a raft of potential threats that advisers could face and so getting the basics of these structures right is crucial.
The webinar will explore when a FIC is appropriate for a client and when a personal investment company, a trust or a partnership may be the more suitable vehicle; review the pros and cons of how FICs are structured, with a look at the anti-avoidance legislation that may trip you up; as well as discuss whether FICs can last the long haul.
