Opportunity Zones
The potential of impact investing
The Opportunity Zones initiative, signed into law through the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, provides a tax incentive for investors to re-invest capital gains into Qualified Opportunity Funds dedicated to investing in government-designated opportunity zones. Stimulating both individual and corporate investment within these zones across the U.S. and in U.S. territories, the Opportunity Zone ecosystem has significant potential to create more equitable and sustainable low-income communities.
With a long and successful track record of servicing private equity, venture capital, hedge fund, and family office organizations, CohnReznick supports the bridge between financial services and community development that will help deliver successful opportunity zone investments.
Sophisticated community development expertise
Our Opportunity Zones team includes experienced national tax professionals who analyze the details of legislative policy; transaction advisory professionals who strategically analyze and model the practical effect of such policy; and professionals who handle fund formation, accounting, and compliance. Additionally, we draw from our teams aligned with business sectors critical to opportunity zones – such as real estate, renewable energy, hospitality, technology, life sciences, and manufacturing – to help us to ensure that this tax provision has maximum effect for the distressed communities it impacts.
