Recently, the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) released the latest policy update on tax incentives for S13O\/U single family office (SFO) funds. The highlights of this update include:<\/p>\n

\"\u2728\" Elimination of external backtesting reporting requirements
\"\u2728\" Post new Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
\"\u2728\" Home Office Tax Incentive Program to be further optimized in the future<\/p>\n

These changes not only mean further streamlining of the application process, but also represent a more balanced regulatory approach to ensuring compliance and privacy. Here's the most important reading for you\"\ud83d\udc47\"<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/section>\n<\/section>\n<\/section>\n

Remember the pilot program for backtesting that MAS launched in October 2024? At that time, all new applications for S13O\/OA\/U SFO funds were required to submit third-party backtesting reports.<\/span><\/section>\n<\/section>\n<\/section>\n<\/section>\n

There is now a major change in policy:<\/p>\n

\"\ud83d\udccc\" Beginning January 1, 2026, MAS will move to an in-house team to conduct backtesting evaluations
\"\ud83d\udccc\" Applicants will no longer be required to submit external backtesting reports<\/p>\n

In other words, the application process will be more efficient and concise afterward, and it also responds to the industry's concerns about privacy protection.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/section>\n<\/section>\n<\/section>\n
