Proposed changes to Alberta’s Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act
Alberta is set to significantly change the privacy landscape for the public sector for the first time in 20 years.
CCIVs are to become a reality
Australia | Publication | February 2022
On 10 February 2022, the Senate passed the long-awaited Corporate Collective Investment Vehicle (CCIV) legislation with bi-partisan support. As a result, the new funds framework is now expected to commence from 1 July 2022. This marks a significant milestone in the development of Australia’s funds management industry, broadening out the range of investment structures. The CCIV offers a corporate funds structure which is more familiar to overseas investors and combines flow-through tax treatment.
With the imminent launch of CCIVs, and consistent with what we have witnessed from other jurisdictions implementing similar fund regimes, we expect that superannuation/pension funds, global investment managers, investors and a range of other financial and fundraising institutions will be assessing how they may take advantage of the opportunities presented by the introduction of CCIVs in Australia.
For a more detailed summary, see our previous CCIV update here.
A copy of the legislation is available from the Australian Federal Parliament's Website.
