SUMMARY:Eversheds Sutherland Webinar: The global perspective: Comparing/contrasting SMCR and equivalent regimes
DESCRIPTION:Since the UK’s Senior Managers and Certification Regime came into force in 2016\, a number of broadly similar individual accountability regimes have been introduced around the globe. \nIn this webinar we will compare and contrast some of the key aspects of the individual accountability regimes in the UK\, Ireland\, Hong Kong\, Australia\, Singapore and Malaysia. We will also hear an update on how the UAE is approaching issues of individual accountability. \nThis webinar also formally launches our recently-published detailed report “Navigating individual accountability: An overview of key jurisdictions in financial services”. \nAs financial regulators regularly look to best practice in other jurisdictions\, we expect this webinar will be of particular interest to financial services firms looking to understand the latest developments internationally. \nTopics for discussion by our experts in these jurisdictions include: \n\npublic and private sanctioning of individuals for misconduct\nimpact of the regimes on businesses behaviours and culture\nkey relevant future developments into 2022 and beyond\n\nThe session will close with an audience Q&A.

SUMMARY:AIMA APAC Webinar: AIFMD Review and Its Impact on APAC Managers
DESCRIPTION:The European Commission published last week a proposal to amend the AIFMD and UCITS directives. There are a number of provisions that will impact third country managers that either market or manage funds in the EU or that are sub-delegates for EU AIFMs (access to member summary here). \nThe proposal changes the rules for private placement by introducing additional requirements on the domiciles of the funds or managers that place funds in EU member states. It is noteworthy that proposed amendments to the rules for third country funds marketed in the EU via private placements will require them not to be domiciled in a country listed on either the EU list on non-cooperative jurisdictions for tax purposes or the EU “high-risk” third country AML blacklist. \nThe Cayman Islands was until October 2020 on the Annex 1 tax haven blacklist. In October 2021\, while Australia was removed\, Hong Kong became a new addition to the Annex II tax haven grey list as\, following review\, its foreign source tax rules have been found non-compliant. Singapore’s rules are also under review and it too could be added to Annex II if there are defects to address. \nAdditionally\, the proposed rules will result in additional scrutiny on managers delegating outside the EU. \nThe panel will discuss the key potential ramifications for private fund managers in the APAC region.

SUMMARY:Lexology Webinars: ELTIFs and LTAFs Europe's long-term fund structures
DESCRIPTION:Private funds managers are increasingly looking to access retail capital\, especially the high net worth investors who may feel they are missing out on the returns offered by illiquid strategies. \nPolicymakers\, seeing long-term investment as a public good\, are keen to re-double their efforts to establish an alternative structure that is appealing to – and appropriate for – retail investors\, while making economic sense for the fund managers that want to tap this important source of capital. \nThe Travers Smith team has been working on a number of mandates for alternative asset managers who are launching European Long-Term Investment Funds (ELTIFs)\, and we are working with industry associations and regulators as the UK develops its own Long-Term Asset Fund (LTAF) – potentially a powerful way to attract capital from UK defined contribution pension schemes. At our webinar\, we will consider how managers can use these European long-term fund structures to attract more retail capital\, and we will discuss some of the regulatory and commercial challenges that arise. \nBy registering for this webinar\, you submit your information to the webinar organisers and speakers from Travers Smith LLP\, who will use it to communicate with you regarding this event and their other services.
