Qualified Opportunity Zone Panel

11/5/2019 08:30 AM - 10:30 AM (CT)

Are You Sitting on Unrealized Capital Gains?

With over 50 million people living in economically distressed areas, the purpose of an opportunity zone is to connect low-income communities with capital investments to promote economic growth. As an investor, you can take realized capital gains and reinvest them into qualified opportunity funds (QOFs) — gaining access to three big benefits:

• Tax Deferral
• Step-Up Benefits
• No Capital Gain Tax on Appreciation

Join us on Tuesday, November 5 for a panel discussion on qualified opportunity zones. You'll get input from the accounting and legal sides, as well as hear about the experiences a fund manager had when setting up a qualified opportunity fund.

Stick around after the panel for a time of networking with fellow attendees.
