Guide to Family Investment Company’s (FICS)

A Family Investment Company (FIC) is a company structure that can be used for investment, wealth protection and succession purposes. FICs have become more popular in recent years, particularly since the Finance Act 2006 whereby several changes to the tax rules for UK trusts were introduced. In essence, this resulted in less agreeable initial and ongoing taxation for significant transfers into Trust.

These changes have meant that affluent individuals wishing to pass their wealth on to their family have had to consider alternative, more tax efficient, options.
