As the world deals with the COVID-19 health crisis, federal income tax incentives for businesses will be necessary for the economic recovery efforts. One of the possible economic recovery tools is the Opportunity Zone Incentive. In fact, the OZ Incentive could be a critical financing tool for operating businesses with respect to these economic recovery efforts.

How using the OZ program for operating businesses can yield even greater long-term benefits for both OZ communities and investors compared to real estate projects alone.

When Treasury released the final OZ regulations, some investors feared that Treasury Secretary Mnuchin would be the grinch that stole Christmas.

Legislative proposals range from information reporting to full repeal.

The Opportunity Zone Expo successfully hosted sold-out events in Las Vegas, New York, Chicago and Houston.

Why it’s important for registered investment advisors and fund managers to use a qualified custodian to help protect their clients and help the fund grow.

Even though Treasury addressed many of the challenges facing multi-asset funds, more are needed to enhance the success of the OZ program, as these large funds could help diversify investments to offset the risks of investing in areas that have traditionally struggled to attract investor capital.
