## Tax Advisory

Every cross-border investment structure carries tax implications — treaty eligibility, withholding exposure, and especially in the case of investments with exposure to the United States tax framework, the use of blocker entities, and potential exposure to effectively connected income, among others. Cardonal Consulting helps clients assess these implications both prospectively, before capital is committed to a new fund, and retrospectively, for investments already made — helping quantify, through a proprietary tax drag analysis, the tax impact a structure has historically had on returns, and identifying where that impact could be mitigated going forward. In either case, our objective is the same: to ensure the investor's understanding of the tax implications, potential impact on intended returns and their regulatory profile.

Beyond individual investment analysis, we also provide training sessions for our clients' internal teams — legal, investment, and compliance — covering the tax principles and practical considerations relevant to investing in alternative assets.

## Who this is for

Family offices

Whether evaluating a new commitment or reviewing an existing position, we assess the tax efficiency of the investment structure, prepare a proprietary tax drag analysis based on information provided by the fund manager, and coordinate directly with the GP to validate the fund's tax assumptions.

Institutional investors and market participants

We provide tailored training sessions on fund-level tax structuring, common United States tax considerations for foreign investors, and the practical tax implications of cross-border vehicles, strengthening internal teams' ability to evaluate these matters on an ongoing basis.

Evaluating the tax implications of a potential investment, looking to understand the actual tax impact on a fund you already have, or interested in a training session for your team? Contact us to discuss.
