​What is an Opportunity Zone?

A Qualified Opportunity Zone Fund is an investment vehicle, certified by the U.S. Treasury Department, organized to invest in a qualified Opportunity Zone property or business. An Opportunity Zone is a designation created by the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 allowing for certain investments in lower-income areas to have tax benefits.
