Types of Funds in Mauritius
Mauritius, as an International Financial Centre, facilitates the setting up of Collective Investment Schemes (open-ended funds), Variable Capital Companies and Closed-End Funds, for retail, expert, and sophisticated investors. These funds can be set up using different structures namely, company, limited partnership or protected cell company.

Why Mauritius for Fund Structuring?

Mauritius offers political stability, favourable tax treaties with over 40 countries, no foreign exchange controls, and robust governance. Its convenient time zone—overlapping Asia, Africa, Europe, and the Middle East—along with its strategic location and strong regulatory framework, make it a trusted hub for investments into Africa and Asia.

Tax Advantages of Funds
Funds benefit from low tax rates, exemptions on capital gains, and access to Mauritius’s Double Taxation Agreements. Non-retail funds also benefit from exemptions on detailed reporting requirements and investment restrictions​.
