Summer Reading: The Registered Investment Adviser Handbook
Sure, it’s not your typical beach read, but who couldn’t benefit from a better understanding of the Investment Advisers Act?
The Practical Guidance Registered Investment Adviser Handbook is the definitive outline summarizing SEC regulatory issues for investment advisers, authored by Proskauer Rose Partner Robert Plaze. Before joining Proskauer, Plaze served as Deputy Director of the Division of Investment Management at the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The Handbook covers extensive ground in key areas for fund managers, including adviser registration, required reporting, and substantive requirements under the U.S. Investment Advisers Act of 1940. The Handbook synthesizes regulation of advisers by the SEC, identifies legal and regulatory precedents, and identifies and links to underlying authorities.
