Funds Talk: March 2014

We are pleased to offer this issue of FundsTalk, Kramer Levin’s newsletter devoted to discussing legal issues facing alternative asset managers and funds. 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.
