A VCC is a Singapore fund structure allowing multiple sub-funds under one legal umbrella.
Each sub-fund has segregated assets and liabilities — offering flexibility for different asset classes, family members, or jurisdictions.
Shares can be issued and redeemed without shareholder approval, enabling flexible capital management.
The VCC structure is designed for flexibility, confidentiality, and tax efficiency.
It enables UHNW families and Single Family Offices (SFOs) to consolidate, manage, and grow wealth under a regulated and scalable platform.
Combining the control of a private holding structure with the institutional quality of a regulated fund vehicle.

Each sub-fund can represent a family branch, generation, or trust.
