February 06, 2021

Opportunity Zones Connect Private Capital with Economic Growth


Opportunity zones were created as part of the Tax Cuts and Job Acts of 2017 to stimulate long-term private
investments in low-income urban and rural communities nationwide. By providing tax benefits to investors,
opportunity zone fund investments are intended to promote economic growth in distressed areas.


Tax Advantages that Grow with Time


With three levels of tax advantages, qualified opportunity zone fund (QOF) investments can lead to permanent
elimination of capital gains taxes.


The level of tax deferral grows over time as long as the investment is maintained in the QOF.


Initial Tax Deferral


Defer capital gains
taxes from initial sale of
stocks, bonds, real estate,
businesses and other assets,
by investing in a QOF.


Partial Elimination

10%, if the investment is held
for 5 years.


Complete Elimination
