PCCMauritius
A Protected Cell Company (PCC) is a single legal entity constituted under the Protected Cell Companies Act and registered as a private limited company under the Companies Act of Mauritius. It may be registered or converted to a public company if a cell or cells intends to be listed on a securities exchange.
A PCC consists of a core cell which is managed by its board of directors and a number of separate and distinct cells. The assets and liabilities of each cell are clearly defined and ring-fenced, hence protected from cell contagion.
What does it look like?
A PCC is structured similarly to an ‘umbrella fund’ where multiple funds operate on the same platform but with the advantage of being ring-fenced. Each fund of a PCC can offer different investment strategies and horizons based on risk appetite and returns.
A cell may invest in another cell in the same manner as a feeder would in a master fund.
This diagram depicts an example of a PCC established to accommodate several funds.
