Partner Bertrand Fry and Associate Shusmita Chowdhury will be speakers at U.S. Investment Adviser Registration for Non-U.S. Firms, a presentation at the American Foreign Law Association. 

Non-U.S. asset managers that provide, or are considering providing, services to U.S. clients (or to investment vehicles with U.S. investors) need to be aware of the comprehensive registration regime applicable under the U.S. Investment Advisers Act. This presentation will outline the availability and limitations of the “foreign investment adviser” exemption, as well as other ways that non-U.S. investment advisers may want to consider addressing U.S. regulatory requirements, including “umbrella” registration and Unibanco letters.
