The Treasury has now launched its consultation on the introduction of authorised tax-transparent funds, which will help to maintain the UK’s position as a competitive fund domicile. It will allow the UK to capitalise on its ability to host Master funds’, and investors across Europe will benefit from UK-based feeder funds.
