A Family Investment Company (FIC) is a family holding company whose shareholders are members of the same family. The concept is simple: the family sets up a company, transfers assets into it and manages them together, with tailored voting rights, profit distributions and protective clauses for divorce and inheritance.
We set up FICs in five proven jurisdictions: London (UK), Singapore, Hong Kong, Dubai and the Cayman Islands. Each jurisdiction has its own strengths; the right choice depends on your residence, your assets and your goals.
What all FIC jurisdictions have in common
-
Clear separation of personal and company assets
-
Tailored share classes with different voting and profit rights
-
Protective clauses for divorce and inheritance in the articles
-
No or very low capital gains tax
-
No inheritance tax on company assets
-
Robust, internationally recognised legal systems
