Hedge Fund Tax Questions
Common questions from fund managers and CFOs.
Carried interest is generally taxed as long-term capital gains if the underlying assets are held for more than 3 years. Recent legislation has extended the holding period from 1 year to 3 years for fund managers. Proper fund structuring and documentation are essential to preserve favorable treatment.
