Seychelles Mutual Fund & Hedge Fund Act offers an excellent and tax effective structure for fund business through offshore investing. Mutual Fund in Seychelles can be constituted as a company, trust or a partnership. The most common structure for investment in mutual fund is International Business Company, or Protected Cell Company.

A Protected Cell Company (PCC) is one of the most popular type of companies offered in Seychelles. The main advantage is that a PCC allows structures enabling international business, wealth/ asset planning and mutual fund formations.

PCC has been designed to hold assets in one or more segregated cells or Cellular cells. The main idea behind this structure is to separate the assets and liability in each cell (business) from those activities in the other cells.

It is necessary that such companies require applicable licences in respect to the activity or activities to be conducted by the PCC in accordance with the laws of the jurisdiction where they conduct their business.

The Republic of Seychelles is one of the most attractive and well-known jurisdictions. Seychelles International Business Companies (IBC) can be used also for registration of ownership of yachts and vessels.
