We are pleased to introduce Kramer Levin’s inaugural FundsTalk newsletter. This newsletter is devoted to discussing legal issues facing alternative asset managers and funds. Since 2008, the alternative asset market has seen a broad convergence of previously distinct asset classes and strategies, such as private equity, hedge funds, debt and claims trading, etc., into a single class — alternative assets. Extending that theme of convergence, this newsletter will focus on multi-disciplinary themes that affect all asset managers, with particular attention paid to new developments and changes in the legal landscape in which the industry operates.

Topics covered in this issue include:

  • The SEC Wants To Be Your Valentine
  • Openlane: The Case of a Merger Agreement, a Know-It-All Board and No Fiduciary Out
  • Recent Trends
  • FATCA and Borrowing from Foreign Lenders
  • Repos “Deconstructed” - Repos to Maturity
  • WARNing to Investors: WARN Liability Premised on De Facto Control of Portfolio Company
