Editorial policy

Sourcing

Every factual claim about Singapore VCC law, tax, or compliance is cited to a primary source: the Variable Capital Companies Act 2018 (via Singapore Statutes Online), MAS notices and circulars, ACRA guidance, or IRAS publications. We use the dated MAS / ACRA / IRAS source over secondary commentary wherever both exist.

Authorship and review

Content is bylined to a named author with credentials disclosed on the article, or to vccguide.sg Editorial when the entry is a compilation of primary sources. Every article carries a last reviewed date, and a next review due date is set so stale entries surface for refresh.

Editorial independence from commercial activity

vccguide.sg is operated by JCP, an MAS-licensed fund manager. Editorial body text does not promote JCP, name JCP services, or link to JCP commercial pages. Commercial intent is satisfied through clearly disclosed call-to-action blocks and the Service Provider Directory, in which JCP appears alongside competitors with identical formatting and no preferred ranking.

Disclosure

Every page of vccguide.sg carries a footer disclosure naming JCP as the operator. Call-to-action blocks repeat this disclosure inline. The cost calculator presents quote-request paths to multiple licensed managers, not only JCP.

Corrections

When we discover an error of fact, we correct the page, update the last reviewed date, and add a dated note to the bottom of the article. Significant corrections are also recorded in the regulatory update tracker if the change reflects an evolution in MAS, ACRA, or IRAS guidance.
