Igniting Business Performance through Increasing Human Capital and Streaming Finance Performance
If you aim at protecting and having control of your valuable assets, SPVs, PSCs and
Foundations are the more modern legal entity structure we may find today, overpassing by
far the offshore structure.
Special Purpose Vehicles (SPVs) regulated by Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM) and
Prescribed Scope Companies (PSCs) regulated by Dubai International Financial Center
(DIFC) are passive holding companies established for the purpose of isolating financial and
legal risk by ring-fencing certain assets and liabilities.
Besides, they are - with Foundations – a legal way of escaping the inheritance principles
imposed by Shariah Law. Indeed, the Shareholders and Directors may choose to whom their
assets should be transferred in the event of decease.
Foundations propose one of the most effective and flexible wealth and succession
planning, even for Muslim families. Indeed, Foundations separate the legal aspect and the
beneficial ownership in respect of family assets.
Both ADGM and DIFC have signed agreement with more than hundred countries to ensure
all the companies that they incorporate are fully compliant. This proves that these legal
forms are not considered as a heaven to escape tax but to actually protect your valuable
assets using best compliance practices.
