A Webinar of Pepper Hamilton LLP
Private Fund Investment Advisers Registration Act of 2009 Set to Impact Many Canadian Hedge and Private Equity Funds
Wednesday, December 16, 2009
Canadian Webinar Series
The Private Fund Investment Advisers Registration Act of 2009 (HR 3818) has been approved by the House Financial Services Committee and is on its way to a full House vote. While not quite as expansive as the original proposal made by the Obama Administration last July, if enacted, HR 3818 would, among other things and for the first time, subject many advisers, both in the United States as well as Canadian advisers that have contact with the United States solely by virtue of a few U.S. clients (direct or potentially indirect), to U.S. registration and scrutiny.
Pepper attorneys Ivan B. Knauer, Gregory J. Nowak and Matthew R. Silver discussed the effect this legislation will have on Canadian hedge funds and private equity funds as the legislative debate is actively taking shape.
