🇰🇿 Expanding opportunities for retail investors in #Kazakhstan: AIFC's influence on the new #legislative framework 🚀 📰 According to the official website of the Government of Kazakhstan, the Agency of the Republic of Kazakhstan for Regulation and Development of the Financial Market is working on a new #legislative proposal with the goal of broadening the participation of retail investors in collective investment schemes (CIS) across Kazakhstan. 👉 Currently, the CIS retail business is mainly possible within the Astana International Financial Centre (#AIFC). While this could be seen as competition with the AIFC, in the long term, the adoption of such a law will help create a solid platform for the #development of funds not only within the #AIFC but also throughout Kazakhstan. 💡 In these proposed innovations, we see the influence of the flexible regime for collective #investments existing in the AIFC. It's evident that the current regime in Kazakhstan is not as flexible, and therefore, the introduction of these innovations (as mentioned on the Government's website) is a positive step forward. Investors may still choose the AIFC due to various existing tax incentives there. However, these innovations could potentially open doors for investors within Kazakhstan, generally, as well. 🔎 Read more in our article below, by Joel B. Benjamin, Managing Partner of our Central Asia practice, and Kuanysh Shekerbekov, Counsel. 🔗 https://lnkd.in/dc2xdQNS #intheknow #CentralAsia #Legislation #KazakhstanLegislation #InvestInKazakhstan #DoingBusinessInKazakhstan

🇰🇿 🏢 In private companies limited by shares, the most popular form of company established in the #Astana International #Financial Center (#AIFC) shareholders range from those with majority ownership stakes (i.e. greater than 50%) to those with smaller holdings. The latter, known as minority #shareholders, often face challenges due to their limited ability to influence business decisions. 💡 Our #expertise lies in safeguarding the rights of minority shareholders, offering advice on protection strategies and negotiation tactics to ensure fair outcomes in disputes involving misconduct by directors or controlling shareholders. 👉 After five years of closely monitoring the AIFC #legislation and practicing corporate law within the AIFC, we believe that its corporate law offers stronger legal protections for minority shareholders compared to the general legislation in Kazakhstan. 👓 Read more in our article below written by Joel B.
