What changed?

MAS opened consultation P014-2019 on 24 July 2019, proposing subsidiary legislation for the insolvency and winding up of a VCC and its sub-funds. The consultation closed on 24 August 2019, with MAS's response following on 15 January 2020.

Why it matters for fund managers

These rules operationalised the VCC's headline protection: sub-funds are ring-fenced, so a single sub-fund can be wound up individually without contaminating the rest of the umbrella. For managers running multiple strategies under one VCC, this is the legal machinery that makes cross-sub-fund contagion a non-issue.
