SPECIAL EDITION: Opportunity Zone Funds

In this special edition of SteelBridge Insights, the SteelBridge team, along with industry experts, explores the federal government’s creation of Opportunity Zones – allowing fund managers to form Qualified Opportunity Funds.  This initiative gives investors that ability to enjoy tax-advantaged treatment of their capital gains while helping to improve low-income urban and rural communities.  “OZs have generated a lot of buzz in the industry,” says SteelBridge Consultant Brant Garda.  “They create some interesting challenges for fund managers but, if navigated properly, some fantastic opportunities for long-term investment strategies and good community relations.”
