We will reserve time for Q&A.
We are also pleased to announce that Julien Bourgeois, a partner at Dechert LLP in Washington, DC, will discuss the SEC’s new rules on the registration of investment advisers. This presentation will focus on the application of the rules to foreign investment advisers and the provisions on participating affiliates. Julien will be available to answer questions.
