New Carried Interest Rules for Investment Funds: Structuring Around the Three-Year Holding Period Requirement
Conducted on Wednesday, July 18, 2018
This CLE webinar will examine the new three-year holding period requirement for carried interests under IRC §1061 and discuss structuring techniques that can preserve long-term capital gains treatment for private equity and hedge funds fund managers notwithstanding the new tax reform rules.
Investment fund managers often participate in a portion of the investment fund’s profits through a “carried interest,” structured as a partnership interest in the investment fund. As a partnership interest, the US federal income tax treatment of carried interest is based on the character of income earned by the fund. For fund managers, new IRC §1061 may increase the holding period required for long-term capital gain treatment from one year to three years.
While future corrective legislation and agency interpretations may limit IRC §1061 planning opportunities, a number of techniques may be available to preserve long-term capital gains treatment for investment fund managers based on a one year holding period, including alterations to the overall business deal (such as restricting the types of gains the carried interest will share in, or permitting the fund manager to waive the right to participate in gains from certain investments but be made whole from other fund income and gains) and structural adjustments both to the manner in which an investment is made as well as the form of an exit.
Our panel will examine the new three-year holding period requirement for carried interests under IRC §1061 and discuss the planning opportunities that may be available for private equity and hedge funds fund managers to preserve long-term capital gains treatment based on a one-year holding period rather than the three year period set forth in IRS §1061.
