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.

SUMMARY:Dechert LLP -  Investment Company Institute’s Closed-End Fund Conference
DESCRIPTION:Dechert is pleased to be a sponsor of the Investment Company Institute’s Closed-End Fund Virtual Conference on November 9 and 10. Conference panels will address emerging trends affecting closed-end funds — as well as what challenges lie ahead — from the perspective of fund sponsors\, fund shareholders\, fund analysts\, attorneys\, regulators and other participants in the closed-end fund ecosystem. \nOn November 9\, Dechert partner Bill Bielefeld will speak on a panel titled Primary Market/Product Development: Unlisted Closed-End Funds. The unlisted closed-end fund market has grown significantly over the last three years. This mini-panel will discuss some common trends\, considerations and issues for fund sponsors that are in the market or looking to enter it. \nAlso on November 10\, Dechert partner Timothy Spangler will present during the Thought Leadership session on Cryptocurrency and Blockchain Developments for Closed-End Funds. The past few years have been very good for Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. Many more investors are considering this asset class for inclusion in their portfolios. Both traditional and alternative investment management firms are also considering adding Bitcoin and other cryptocurrency exposure to their closed-end funds. In addition\, the development of other digital assets and blockchain technology generally have advanced steadily. With a rapidly changing regulatory environment and entrepreneurial firms looking to launch innovative products and solutions\, exposure to Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies raises potentially novel considerations for closed-end funds.
