About VCC Singapore
VCC Singapore is an independent publication covering Singapore’s Variable Capital Company, fund formation, costs, tax conditions and operating requirements. It provides English and Chinese material for fund managers, family offices and professional advisers and has been online since 2021.
What we publish
The site covers one subject in depth: the Singapore Variable Capital Company and everything a fund or family has to decide around it — the structure and its requirements, the 13O, 13OA, 13U and 13D tax incentives on both the licensed-manager and family-office tracks, licensing and the hosted-platform route, fund administration, family offices, cross-border corridors, and the running-cost arithmetic. Alongside the guides we build free tools — an eligibility checker, cost calculators, a fee estimator, a carried-interest comparator and a GIP option finder — that turn the rules into numbers for a reader’s own situation.
How we work
Coverage draws on MAS, IRAS, ACRA and EDB publications and the relevant legislation. Legal thresholds should state their applicable track, testing date and conditions; estimates should identify their assumptions. Page dates and editorial bylines do not certify independent professional review. Source standards and correction procedures are set out in the editorial policy.

Revenue and referrals
We do not sell advertising, run affiliate links or accept paid placements. When a reader or adviser asks for help with a live matter, we introduce them — at no fee to the reader — to MAS-licensed fund managers and to an international fund-services group with a Singapore office. Those providers may compensate us for introductions that become engagements. They are not named on the site, they have no say over what we publish, and no page recommends a provider. The detail is on the independence and referrals page.
Languages and machine readers
Simplified Chinese versions are available under /zh/. Machine-readable Markdown versions are indexed in llms.txt. Language versions may differ in currency; refer to the dates and sources on the relevant page. Citation with attribution is welcome.

Who owns VCC Singapore?
VCC Singapore is a privately owned, Singapore-based editorial publication, published from 101 Telok Ayer Street #03-02, Singapore 068574, and online since December 2021. It is not part of a law firm, fund manager, administrator or regulator.
Is the content independent?
Yes. No provider pays for placement or has editorial input, no page recommends a provider, and we carry no advertising or affiliate links. We earn from introductions to licensed providers that readers request; the terms are set out on the independence and referrals page.
How current are the figures?
Check the date, applicable conditions and sources on the relevant page. Content can become outdated, including translated versions. The editorial policy sets the standard for checking and correcting affected material.
Is anything on the site advice?
No. The guides and tools are general information for orientation. They are not legal, tax, financial or immigration advice, and every threshold should be confirmed with MAS, IRAS, ACRA or EDB and a qualified adviser before acting.
