Key Features of Panamanian FIPs
1
Separate Assets
Assets transferred to the foundation are legally separated from the founder’s personal assets, providing solid protection against third-party claims.
2
Non-Profit by Purpose
A FIP does not seek profit as its primary objective, but it may engage in occasional commercial activities or hold shares to fulfill its goals.
3
Confidentiality & Privacy
Panama’s FIP Law guarantees strong confidentiality, especially through private Regulations that are not registered in the Public Registry and contain sensitive details (like beneficiaries and distribution rules).
4
Flexibility
Founders can set clear and detailed rules for asset management and distribution, adaptable to various planning needs.
5
Legal Personality
Gains full legal personality once registered with Panama’s Public Registry.
