SAN JOSE, Calif. (PRWEB) August 23, 2018 -- NES Financial announced that it has added a new, purpose-built fund administration suite to its current lineup of EB-5, 1031 exchange, and private equity solutions. The Opportunity Zone Fund Administration Suite leverages NES Financial’s award-winning eSTAC® administration technology to provide maximum security, transparency and compliance to the burgeoning Opportunity Zone Fund industry.

It is encouraging to see solutions like this coming into the space, because ultimately, for the program to achieve its objectives, it will require many service providers and solutions that embrace best practices.

Opportunity Zone Funds (OZFs) are qualified private-sector investment vehicles that invest at least 90 percent of their capital into Opportunity Zones — targeted economically distressed areas across the U.S. Under rules outlined in 2017’s Tax Cuts and Jobs act, Opportunity Zone Funds offer investors lucrative tax breaks, including temporary tax deferral and partial elimination of taxes on an investor’s realized capital gains, and total elimination of taxes on all capital gains due to the appreciation of the OZF investment.

“The Opportunity Zone Fund industry is in its infancy, and its potential as both an asset class and a broad economic driver is enormous,” said Michael Halloran, NES Financial Chairman and CEO. “However, as a new and rapidly evolving market, it is also vulnerable to impropriety — intentional or otherwise. Given the levels of complexity and compliance reporting involved, we expect third-party oversight to quickly become a recognized best practice for Opportunity Zone Funds.”

The list of 8700 census tracts designated as Opportunity Zones was finalized in June, marking the official opening of business for OZFs. With the amount of unrealized capital gains sitting on U.S. books estimated in the trillions of dollars, analysts are predicting huge growth for Opportunity Zone Funds over the coming years. 

The purpose of the NES Financial Opportunity Zone Fund Administration Suite is to efficiently and securely handle the middle- and back-office administration for growing funds, at scale, so that Opportunity Zone Fund managers can focus on raising capital and deploying it to underserved communities across the country. This includes handling the specialized tracking and reporting requirements of the OZ program with the highest possible degrees of fund security, investor transparency, and regulatory compliance.

And, as other emerging industry leaders have noted, Opportunity Zones’ success will likely hinge on the strength of the industry’s oversight and compliance standards — which have yet to solidify.

“The Opportunity Zones incentive has the potential to be one of the most impactful economic development tools in the country,” said Gregory Clements, CPA, a partner in Novogradac & Company LLP’s Dover, Ohio, office. “As community development professionals move into this new space, embracing best practices will be key to ensuring the Opportunity Zones incentive stimulates development and helps communities in need of investment.”

Jim Butler, founding partner at Jeffer Mangels Butler & Mitchell LLP, similarly predicts that quality third-party administration will be crucial to the industry’s success. “It is encouraging to see solutions like this coming into the space, because ultimately, for the program to achieve its objectives, it will require many service providers and solutions that embrace best practices.”
