He stated that the new VCC model offers a flexible share capital structure designed to support proprietary<a href=\"https:\/\/techxmedia.com\/en\/?s=+investment+\"> investment<\/a> strategies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The VCC framework is tailored for proprietary investments and does not require authorisation from the Dubai Financial Services Authority (DFSA) or the appointment of a regulated fund manager unless the company engages in regulated financial services. This makes the VCC an efficient vehicle for investors seeking flexibility and lower procedural burdens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Key features of the proposed VCC Regulations include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Flexible structure options, allowing standalone companies or umbrella entities with incorporated or segregated cells<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Share capital equal to net asset value, enabling efficient share issuance and redemptions<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Distributions allowed from capital, not limited to profits<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Asset and strategy segregation with centralised management benefits<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>DIFC reported that the VCC model may particularly benefit family-owned businesses, high-value multi-asset holdings, and complex proprietary investment portfolios such as secondaries structures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The proposed regulations are detailed in Consultation Paper No. 2 of 2025. The public consultation will remain open for 30 days, with comments accepted until 24 July 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC), the global financial hub in [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":58,"featured_media":98931,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[9639,9621],"tags":[73],"contributor":[9732],"class_list":["post-98924","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-fintech-emerging-technologies","category-emerging-technologies","tag-uae","contributor-news-desk"],"featured_image_src":"https:\/\/techxmedia.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/DIFC-04.jpg","author_info":{"display_name":"Lubna","author_link":"https:\/\/techxmedia.com\/en\/author\/lubna\/"},"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/techxmedia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/98924","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/techxmedia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/techxmedia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/techxmedia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/58"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/techxmedia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=98924"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/techxmedia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/98924\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/techxmedia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/98931"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/techxmedia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=98924"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/techxmedia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=98924"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/techxmedia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=98924"},{"taxonomy":"contributor","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/techxmedia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/contributor?post=98924"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
