Key points
A non-umbrella VCC holds a single fund with one pool of assets and liabilities. An umbrella accommodates multiple sub-funds with separate assets and liabilities, allowing different strategies or portfolios within the same VCC. ACRA provides a separate sub-fund registration guide and notes that the VCC type can be changed after registration.
Planning your next steps
The financial year end closes the accounting period. ACRA describes 12-month and 52-week periods and allows a chosen calendar date. Since the choice affects filing and tax timing, consider the investment cycle and reporting workload before deciding. Treat the structure decision and accounting-calendar decision as related planning matters, while checking their separate registration requirements.
