An introduction and how Morgans can assist you

First introduced on 24 November 2012, the Significant Investor Visa (SIV) scheme provides a streamlined pathway for individuals seeking permanent residency in Australia while making a financial commitment to Australia’s future prosperity through a minimum AUD5 million investment.

The SIV (subclass 188) is issued to applicants for a four year period. By investing AUD5 million in complying investments during this period, the applicant can then seek to obtain permanent residency under the SIV (Subclass 888).

On 24 April 2015, the Australian Government announced changes to the SIV scheme to encourage applicants to make investments that further advance economic growth of Australia. These investments must be across a range of complying sectors and investment products as outlined in this publication.

300,000 clients, 500 authorised representatives and 850 staff. We operate from more than 60 offices in all States and Territories across Australia.

Complying Investments under the Significant Investor Stream Under changes to the Significant Investor Visa that came into effect on 1 July 2015, an individual seeking to obtain the visa must comply with the required investment profile. Applicants are required to make a total investment of at least AUD5 million in complying investments across three specific categories.

The investments must include:

§ A minimum of AUD500 000 invested into one or more complying venture capital or growth private equity funds.

§ A minimum of AUD1.5 million invested in eligible emerging companies via a complying product.

§ A balancing investment of up to AUD3 million (assuming a total AUD5 million investment).

Visa Requirements

A key difference for investors between supporting ESVLCPs and VLCPs is the tax treatment of investor returns. For ESVCLPs, both capital and income returns are tax free, whereas for VLCPs only capital gains are tax free. (Note: Applicants should seek independent tax advice regarding their own circumstances).

Applicants are required to invest AUD500,000 into one or more AusIndustry registered fund(s). It is the responsibility of the investor to prove to the Department of Immigration and Border Protection (DIBP) that each investment is compliant. Importantly, applicants have 12 months in which to commit to a VCPE fund; during this period they can explore investment options.

Venture Capital and Growth Private Equity Funds (VCPE) Venture Capital programs such as the Early Stage Venture Capital Limited Partnerships (ESVCLP), Venture Capital Limited Partnerships (VCLP) and Australian Fund of Funds (AFOF) work with private venture capital fund managers to provide essential capital and expertise to start up and developing companies. These programs help develop a vibrant venture capital industry in Australia and the growth of new and innovative businesses.

ESVCLPs support businesses up to AUD100 million in value while VCLPs extend to AUD250 million. The following charts show the skew of funding to ESVCLPs as well as the breadth of venture capital funding across sectors in Australia. The SIV program is seen as an important element in supporting Australian innovation.

10 | Australian Significant Investor Visa Scheme

Page 11: Tomorrows blossom - ChinaGoAbroad...Investor Visa that came into effect on 1 July 2015, an individual seeking to obtain the visa must comply with the required investment profile. Applicants

All investments are subject to a degree of risk. To assist you, we outline below a number of risks you may encounter when investing under the SIV arrangements. These risks generally apply whether the applicant invests in a LIC or managed fund; collectively known as a Managed Investment Scheme (MIS). It is important that applicants consider carefully all risks before acquiring complying investments.

The list of risk factors below is not exhaustive. These factors, and others not specifically referred to, may materially affect the financial performance of a MIS and the value of your investments. Therefore, there is no guarantee with respect to the payment of dividends, returns of capital or the market value of any investment.

Further, investors should understand that investments in Venture Capital/Private Equity and to a lesser degree Emerging Companies carry a much higher level of risk than more mainstream Balancing Investments and could potentially lead to a loss of some or all of the capital invested.

General Investment risks

Applicant’s investments are susceptible to general economic risks, market conditions and changes in Government policies. Investment returns are affected by both national and international market factors as well as factors specific to each security. In addition to this, returns are affected by the underlying business performance of individual investments.

Risks

Regulatory risk

Government authorities (State and Federal) and regulatory authorities (ASX, ATO, ASIC, etc.) impose regulatory controls which can influence the operation of a MIS or underlying investment. Regulations affecting the way the SIV program is managed or affecting the terms of the complying investments may change over time and can impact on investment strategies and value.

Tax risk

Tax liabilities are the responsibility of individual investors. Tax implications arise from ownership of investments, receipt of dividends or interest (if any) returns of capital and the disposal of securities. Changes in taxation laws could reflect negatively on an investment’s financial performance as well as returns to the investor. Morgans is not responsible for taxation advice, outcomes or penalties incurred by investors. Applicants should carefully consider any tax implications resulting from the investments made, their personal circumstances or home domicile, and should seek individual taxation advice from their personal accountant or tax adviser.

Interest Rate risk

Changes in short and long term interest rates may reflect positively or negatively on investment returns.

Liquidity risk

Investments in LIC pose liquidity risk when turnover is insufficient for the applicant to sell holdings to the market. Additionally, investments in managed funds may not be able to be withdrawn.

Counterparty and Service Provider risk

Failure to meet contractual obligations by counterparty or service providers may result in losses to a MIS and may impact your investment.

Derivatives

A MIS may trade in derivatives which may have a negative impact on investments due to adverse movements in underlying assets or where the position is costly or difficult to reverse/maintain. Derivatives can also give rise to counterparty risks.

MIS Manager risk

The performance of the MIS manager will affect the value of the applicant’s investment. Factors influencing the MIS manager’s performance include; poor investment strategies, volatility of market conditions, loss of significant clients/personnel, market and systematic risk as well as market perception of the investment manager and its funds management business.
