Investment domicile refers to the legal jurisdiction where your venture capital fund is registered and incorporated.
Your fund's domicile impacts:
- Legal structure and regulations you must follow
- Tax treatment for the fund and LPs
- LP preferences (many LPs prefer familiar jurisdictions)
- Alignment with where your portfolio companies are based
Common VC fund domiciles include Delaware, Ontario, Singapore, and India. Delaware is the most popular choice for most VC firms.
According to the resources, UK is generally not desirable unless both you and your LPs are UK-based. Indian GPs typically domicile in India if investing locally, or Delaware if their portfolio companies are in major jurisdictions like Delaware or Singapore.
