MARCH FEATURED PRESENTATIONS:

Diana Kalyaeva, Senior Manager, TEP, Private Wealth Services of PwC will speak about managing companies offshore

Russian entrepreneurs with international business more and more often use offshore jurisdictions for ownership structures of their assets. However, management issues of such structures are often overlooked or disregarded by the entrepreneurs. As a result, such structures suffer lack of substance, persons involved in the management of the structures do not work properly and such structures may create huge legal and tax risks. What issues and pitfalls should be taken into consideration?  You can hear about this and other related issues at this Adam Smith conference. 

Alexey Golubykh, Director Private Banking of Troika Dialog will talk on ART-BANKING

With the long-term global growth of wealth, alongside the growth in knowledge about the art market, a much larger community has become interested in collecting and investing in art. A number of funds dedicated to fine art investment allow private individuals through securitization to have an ownership interest in a broader art collection and, therefore, decrease the idiosyncratic risk of their art investments. The broader appeal in art lies in the low correlation with other asset classes. Russian individuals are showing growing interest in art an as asset class as well as art as soft-benefit, meaning the communication and the social circle associated with art.

Are their any tax benefits that can increase effectiveness of giving, and are their long-term instruments for philanthropic investments?
