Ogier Global Investment Funds Updater

This first edition of the Ogier Global Investment Funds Updater is an in-depth look at some of the issues surrounding the global funds industry. We consider a number of international initiatives that will affect the offshore financial centres as well as the alternative investment fund industry which are currently in play. These initiatives are varied, with multiple objectives and diverse potential implications and we look carefully at what these are and what the outcomes may be. On a related note, we also look at why investment managers may be interested in setting up offshore.

Liquidity has been a key issue for many funds in the wake of the credit crisis and we take a jurisdiction-by-jurisdiction look at the mechanisms employed by funds to manage these issues, such as structural tools and the legal position of redeeming and redeemed investors.

Finally, as we are a combined legal and fiduciary services organisation, no Ogier updater would be complete without a contribution from our fiduciary colleagues and here they provide insight into fair value accounting for private equity funds.
