Description

About the Event

Fund finance sits at the intersection of two legal disciplines, investment funds and traditional banking and finance. It is one of the fastest-growing areas of private capital. As global and regional fund managers increasingly expand their presence in Asia-Pacific, demand for lawyers who understand fund structuring and the financing of these structures, continues to rise. This talk will introduce students to the fundamentals of fund finance, covering key products such as subscription credit facilities, hybrids and NAV lending, and explore the legal and commercial issues that arise when structuring these financings. Drawing on two decades of practice spanning London and Singapore, the session will offer students practical insight into a rapidly expanding practice area.
