Fund Relocation and Fund Restructuring
Regulatory changes around the world-the AIFMD, the UCITS reform and the Dodd-Franck-Legislation- raise the question of how investment intermediaries should best respond to regulation. This not only affects investment managers and advisers, but also investment funds, administrators, depositaries, prime brokers and all other intermediaries in the investment fund industry. During the fourth conference on investment funds organized by the Propter Homines Chair for Banking and Securities Law at the University of Liechtenstein the focus will be on the practical response to regulation in the fund domain. As with the three preceding conferences, the fourth Liechtenstein Fund Conference seeks to provide a fruitful discussion among practitioners and academics by enhancing the theoretical and practical insights into the scarcely scrutinized law and business of investment funds and investment intermediaries.
Issues that will be considered at the conference include, in particular: (1) whether an offshore or an onshore location of an investment entity suits the investors best, (2) which legal environment enables intermediaries to pursue their business, and (3) which rules provide necessary safeguards for avoiding further financial crises, and which rules are overbearing in that regard. Moreover, we seek to examine the ways law can respond to regulation. This will include an introduction to restructuring regimes in certain jurisdictions, and sector analyses that provide insights to the motivations of certain market participants.
