On 12 June 2012, the Propter Homines Chair of Banking and Securities Law at the University of Liechtenstein will provide information about the relationship between depositaries and prime brokers under the new AIFM Directive.
The regulation of depositary banks is a focal area of the Alternative Investment Fund Managers Directive (AIFMD), which could entail radical consequences for depositary banks. At the 5th Liechtenstein Funds Forum, at which the topic of “Duties and relationship of depositaries and prime brokers under the AIFMD (and UCITS V) ” will be discussed, experts will explore legal prospects regarding future developments and their consequences for business. The event will be held in English on Tuesday, 12 June 2012, from 5.00 p.m. to 6.45 p.m., in the auditorium of the University of Liechtenstein.
John R. Siena, from the legal department of the Bank of New York Mellon, will talk about the relationship between depositaries and prime brokers under the AIFMD, while Sebastiaan N. Hooghiemstra, research assistant at the Propter Homines Chair of Banking and Securities Law, will present the new regulations for depositary banks under the AIFMD. Professor Dirk A. Zetzsche, who holds the Propter Homines Chair of Banking and Securities Law, will lead the event, which is aimed at depositaries, promoters, fund managers and financial intermediaries from the Swiss, Liechtenstein, Austrian and German financial centres, as well as Financial Market Authority staff.
