Education Session No. 595:
AIFMD Update: Existing and Proposed Regulation and its Impact on Clients
When: March 8, 2016 at 6 PM Where: New York, New York
How do U.S. fund managers market in Europe in the AIFMD era? The new European regulatory environment has left us with more questions than answers:
How are U.S. fund managers currently reacting to AIFMD?
What is reverse solicitation and how does it work?
Are there private placement exemptions to be aware of?
Is it easy to passport in Europe?
What are the ramifications of falling outside the AIFMD guidelines?
Join us as our panelists discuss the do’s and don’ts of marketing in Europe, including reverse solicitation, marketing passports, and private placement opportunities. These valuable insights will help inform the audience on the best options for raising money in Europe.
Participants:
Thomas Alabaster, Latham & Watkins LLP Brandon Gay, The Carlyle Group Elizabeth MacGaw, J.P. Morgan Imelda Shine, Intertrust Group Ireland Nancy Kowalczyk, Moderator, Latham & Watkins LLP
