Fasken Martineau invites you to attend an information session on the implementation of Phase 2 of the CSA’s Modernization of Investment Fund Product Regulation Project.
The Phase 2 amendments will have far-reaching effects on how closed-end funds are managed, including new investment restrictions, unitholder approval requirements, and rules relating to subsequent offerings (including a prohibition against issuing warrants). The Phase 2 amendments also include several new regulations for mutual funds, including a new prohibition against investing in closed-end funds, changes to securities lending requirements, and new sales communication requirements following conversion from a closed-end fund.
The Phase 2 amendments are expected to come into effect on September 22, 2014, though several changes will have longer transition periods.
Our speakers will provide you with a detailed explanation of the ramifications of these changes, particularly for managers and selling agents of closed-end funds.
