“Types of investments an entity must hold”

When you have an entity, at least 90% of its assets by value must be in certain types of investments. These investments can be:

  1. An interest in land
  2. A financial arrangement
  3. An excepted financial arrangement
  4. A right or option related to the above three types of investments

There’s a special rule in Section HM 19C(1) that changes how this works for land investments and rights or options related to them.
