SAN JOSE, Calif. (PRWEB) March 09, 2022 - Fund administration leader JTC Americas has announced a free virtual event where it will reveal insights gathered from an in-depth survey into Opportunity Zones. Titled, Getting Impact Right: A New Strategy for Opportunity Zones, the March 16 webinar will use new data to challenge misconceptions about OZ and will feature expert analysis on how OZ fund managers can employ these insights in their investment strategies.

There has been plenty of debate around the OZ initiative, with much of the rhetoric based on anecdotes and assumptions rather than actual data. To get to the facts, JTC Americas, in cooperation with OpportunityDb, conducted an in-depth survey of OZ investors and Fund Managers, arriving at some surprising results, which will be discussed at the upcoming webinar.

JTC Americas, the North American arm of JTC, has been the market leader in Opportunity Zones fund administration since the programs inception. In addition to its leadership in OZ fund accounting, JTC Americas has pioneered methods for tracking social impact and comparing investments with different impact goals.

OpportunityDb provides world-class tools, education, and analysis to help individual investors, family offices, real estate developers, and industry service providers navigate the ins and outs of the Opportunity Zones program. Their Opportunity Zones Database helps connect investors with Qualified Opportunity Funds and provides educational tools about the initiative.

The event will also feature panel discussions with industry experts commenting on the cohesion between the tax benefits and social impact components of OZ and how managers of QOFs can position themselves for success in the future. This event will be crucial for all OZ stakeholders hoping to stay ahead of trends and better understand the industry.

As the industry leader in Opportunity Zones fund administration, its important for us to work with the best data possible, said Reid Thomas, Chief Revenue Officer and Managing Director, JTC Americas. We look forward to hearing from some of the best minds in the industry on what this new information can tell us about the future of OZ.
