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 focuses 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.
