What is a Qualified opportunity fund?
A Qualified Opportunity Fund (QOF) is a new investment vehicle created as part of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) of 2017 to incentivize investment in targeted communities called Qualified Opportunity Zones (QOZs) to spur economic development and job creation in these distressed urban and rural communities.
What is a Qualified opportunity zone?
Qualified Opportunity Zones (QOZs) are census tracts of low-income areas designated by state governors and certified by the U.S. Department of the Treasury. Investors can invest in the development of QOZs through QOFs, which can then give them significant federal capital gains tax advantages while impacting communities and changing lives.
WhY INVEST IN OPPORTUNITY FUNDS
Investors can receive the following FOUR MAJOR BENEFITS by rolling their Capital Gains into a QOF within 180 days.
Defer Capital Gains
Investors can defer recognition of the capital gain invested until up to December 31, 2026 and postpone paying the federal tax obligation until the tax return due date in 2027.
Reduce Capital Gains
If an investor holds their QOF interest for 5 years, their federal deferred capital gain amount will be reduced by 10%. You MUST invest capital gains no later than December 31, 2021 to take the 10% Capital Gain Reduction.
After 10 years, No Additional Capital Gains Tax
If the investor holds the QOF investment for 10 years, any additional gain (in excess of the deferred gain recognized in 2026) on the sale of such QOF investment is not subject to federal income tax if sold prior to 2048.
Receive Dividends from Earnings
Investors might also receive income distributions from the QOF’s earnings.

Distressed Communities Index
Key Insights from Ten Years of Change.
A decade ago, the financial crisis impacted our economy, our politics, and our society in ways few could have expected. Looking back now, we wondered: How did the Great Recession and subsequent recovery affect the health and trajectories of American communities? And how have the rewards of a long national expansion been distributed in local terms across different places and populations?
To find out, EIG used its Distressed Communities Index (DCI) to compare two distinct time periods: 2007-2011 and 2012-2016. The DCI combines seven complementary metrics into a single measure of economic well-being, resulting in a clear snapshot of the economic and social state of the U.S. zip codes, counties, cities, and congressional districts. Places are sorted into quintiles based on their performance on the index: Prosperous, comfortable, mid-tier, at risk, and distressed.
What we found amounts to a “Great Reshuffling” – a sorting of human capital, job creation, and business formation that has had vast implications for Americans and their communities. In the years following the recession, top-tier places have thrived, seeing meteoric growth in jobs, businesses, and population. Meanwhile, the number of people living in America’s most distressed zip codes is shrinking as the nature of distress becomes more rural. But the gaps in well-being between prosperous areas and the rest have grown wider, and national rates of growth have become more distant from the experience of the median community.
