Good jurisdiction for personal startup investments holding company/mini family office

[PhantomOf ThePits]

Hi,

from your experience, what would be a good jurisdiction for setting up a personal investment/holding company which would then invest in different startups in Europe/US/GCC?
Imagine shareholder lives in a jurisdiction where PE not a problem.

Also as the company would only do a few high risk startup private equity investments, yearly running costs shouldnt be too crazy.

Was looking into Cyprus as there it seems 0% tax on investments even for investments lower than a few % equity of target company.
Yearly running costs of that vehicle in CY including audit, local directors around 4k EUR/yr/

More reputable jurisdictions like Switzerland seems running costs with local director easily 10k EUR/yr.

What about Luxembourg SPF for non EU residents?

Or which other jurisdictions would make sense to look into?

It should be a personal investment vehicle, not multi-millions private equity family office.

I would prefer to set up a private investment company in Singapore. Politics is relatively neutral and banks have a lot of options.

Liechtenstein PVS could be a problem going forward

for future proofing this, the structure should not have a UBO.

Otherwise just go personal. Imo the time for the-inbetweens is up shortly by just looking at creating and sharing UBO registers initiatives the world over.

CY is interesting but the rules for companies making investments are a bit complicated when you look at SDC on certain types of dividends for example.
You have to review all details with an expert
