Frank McGrew of McNally Capital on Investing in Opportunity Zones
Frank McGrew describes a new federal program that offers private equity investors and family offices tax benefits to invest in economically disadvantaged areas.
Frank McGrew, managing partner at McNally Capital, spoke with MMG Editor Kathryn Mulligan about a provision of the 2017 tax reform legislation designed to attract capital to economically disadvantaged communities.
The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act created an incentive for investors to deploy capital gains into opportunity zones, which include more than 8,700 areas identified by state governors. By investing in opportunity zones, family offices and private equity firms can benefit from tax deferral for recently realized capital gains.
“I think this will be talked about more and more in the deal community as people understand just how broad and important these opportunity zones will be throughout the country.”
McGrew described the program’s origin, benefits for investors, and the steps he and his colleagues at McNally are taking to prepare for this new opportunity.
