Details
During this webinar, Ken Holston and Fatima Sulaiman, partners in K&L Gates LLP’s Asset Management and Investment Funds Practice, will discuss fund boards’ responsibilities under the new derivatives rule applicable to registered funds. The SEC recently adopted Rule 18f-4 under the 1940 Act, which establishes a comprehensive regulatory framework for the use of derivatives transactions by registered funds. The rule will replace SEC guidance and staff no-action letters that together have governed the use of derivatives by registered funds for over 40 years. Rule 18f-4’s conditions include specific board oversight and reporting requirements related to funds’ management of derivatives risks. The webinar will cover topics including:
• Overview of the new Derivatives Rule,
• Approving a Derivatives Risk Manager,
• Understanding the Derivatives Risk Management Program,
• Defining the Board’s Oversight Role,
• What to Expect in Board Reporting, and
• Board Obligations When Funds Fall Out of Compliance
Who Should Attend?
All independent directors, CCOs, and professionals in the fund industry are welcome to participate.
