Multi-Entity Structuring for Funds and RIAs

For hedge funds, private equity, and Registered Investment Advisors (RIAs), optimal tax structuring requires a delicate balance between the management company and the investment fund. We design complex dual-entity structures that separate fee income from investment gains, shielding management from unnecessary liabilities while preserving long-term capital gains treatment for carried interest.

Industry-Specific Tax FAQs

Q1 What is the most tax-efficient way to structure a new RIA?

Typically, setting up the management company as an S-Corporation or LLC taxed as an S-Corp minimizes self-employment taxes, while the fund itself operates as a Limited Partnership (LP) to facilitate tax-free flow-through of capital gains.

Q2 How does Section 1256 apply to futures trading?

Under Section 1256, gains and losses from trading certain futures contracts are treated as 60% long-term and 40% short-term capital gains, regardless of how long you actually held the contracts, providing a blended maximum tax rate.

Q3 Can management fees be structured to optimize state taxes?

Yes. By carefully analyzing the sourcing of fee income and applying market-based sourcing rules, we can often minimize state income tax exposure for multi-state advisory firms.
