Overview

Why You Should Attend

Investment Management 2022: Current Issues and Trends is an all-new program tailored to address current regulatory developments and everyday practice issues faced by attorneys and other professionals in the investment management industry. Upon completing this program, attendees will be able to explain the SEC's strategic agenda and new rules requirements effectively and confidently to clients, implement pragmatic best practices into their practice with particular funds and asset management, and will be able to approach client matters with a better understanding of trends in Section 36(b) litigation.

Highlighted in this year's agenda is the implementation of new SEC rules. Our faculty of experts will evaluate the timelines created by the new SEC rules and will explain how they impact your practice. What are the key compliance dates attorneys need to know? What are the effects on funds of the new Investment Advisers Act's Marketing Rule? Learn about these pragmatic issues and become better enabled to serve your clients impacted by these developments.
