Fund governance and structure

The note describes shareholders, a governing board and an MAS-regulated fund manager. A custodian is required for funds offered to specified investor categories. A VCC may house one fund or use an umbrella with multiple sub-funds. The policy aim was to bring fund domicile and Singapore-based management closer together, addressing limitations of existing company, partnership and trust structures.
