| Fund Structuring
The Cayman Islands experienced robust private equity activity in 2022 despite market uncertainties, with sustained interest in Cayman Islands structures for fund formation and transactional activity. The jurisdiction remains attractive due to its legislative and regulatory framework, tax-neutral status, and flexible structuring options. The Private Funds Act has led to over 16,000 investment funds being registered, with most private fund managers regulated by onshore authorities. The Cayman Islands offer a variety of vehicles for investment, with exempted limited partnerships, exempted companies, and limited liability companies being popular choices. The jurisdiction's offerings are well-suited for alternative structures and continue to be in demand for transactional contexts. Regulatory developments and the adaptability of Cayman Islands structures to emerging technologies and practices contribute to its success in the private equity sector.

Can the Bitcoin surge push India to overcome its cryptocurrency hurdles?

The recent surge in Bitcoin prices has led to a significant increase in trading volumes for Indian cryptocurrency platforms like CoinDCX and WazirX. Despite this, heavy taxes imposed by the Indian government have dampened investor interest, with many investors moving to foreign exchanges. The industry sees the high tax rate as recognition of cryptocurrencies as legitimate investments, and there is a call for regulatory clarity. The US SEC's approval of Bitcoin ETFs and the upcoming Bitcoin halving event are contributing to the market's growth. Indian exchanges are eager for a regulatory framework, and there is optimism that India's G20 presidency will lead to better industry regulation.

Are the SEC’s Private Fund Advisers Rules Now Dead? No, but they are on Life Support
05 Jun 2024

www.jdsupra.com
|
English
| Legal Rulings
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit has vacated the SEC's Private Fund Advisers Rules, ruling that the SEC exceeded its authority under the Administrative Procedures Act. The court found that the SEC's interpretation of its regulatory powers under Sections 211(h) and 206(4) of the Investment Advisers Act was incorrect, particularly in relation to private funds and sophisticated investors. The SEC now faces several options, including appealing the decision or drafting new rules. Despite the ruling, some institutional investors may still seek terms aligned with the vacated rules, and the SEC may continue to push for transparency in private fund operations. Additionally, similar regulatory objectives might be adopted by non-U.S. regulators, impacting U.S. private funds operating internationally.

The SEC has disbanded its ESG task force, initially established to address misleading ESG claims, amidst setbacks and shifting corporate priorities. Despite initial enthusiasm, the ESG movement is facing challenges, with companies prioritizing inflation, AI, and geopolitical issues over sustainability. Missouri's Secretary of State is appealing a federal court decision invalidating anti-ESG rules. A Bain & Co. survey indicates a decline in corporate focus on ESG, while a book review by the American Institute for Economic Reform critiques ESG practices, advocating for businesses to oppose political and ideological neutrality.

The lawsuit seeks declaratory and injunctive relief to prevent the SEC from asserting jurisdiction over XRP futures.

High-profile cases of greenwashing, such as Keurig's false recyclability claims and Verra's flawed carbon credit system, highlight the issue. The US SEC is considering requiring companies to disclose Scope 3 emissions, increasing pressure on firms to provide accurate data.

China News Outlet Closure Reflects Political Sensitivities Over Beijing, Leadership Says

The China Project, an English-language news website covering a range of topics on China, has shut down after seven years. The site faced accusations of being an agent of Beijing and struggled with financial issues, leading to a loss of investors and advertisers. The closure highlights the challenges of reporting on China amidst a political climate that favors a tough stance against the country. The site's leadership, including editor in chief Jeremy Goldkorn and CEO Bob Guterma, cited political tensions and a whistleblower complaint by former employee Shannon Van Sant as contributing factors to the shutdown. Van Sant alleged the outlet acted as an unregistered agent of the Chinese Community Party, which The China Project denied. The case reflects the broader issue of media outlets navigating the complex relationship between the U.S. and China, with bipartisan policy in the U.S. often opposing Beijing's actions.

Congressional gridlock has halted progress on municipal-related legislation due to the House's inability to elect a new Speaker. Key agency reauthorizations and appropriations are pending, with the Farm Bill being considered as a vehicle for advancing the Modernizing Agricultural and Manufacturing Bonds Act (MAMBA). MAMBA aims to update IRS rules for debt financing for manufacturers and farmers, including increasing bond limits and expanding the definition of 'manufacturing.' The Federal Aviation Administration's reauthorization is also due, with infrastructure funding for airports at stake. The Defense Bill is another critical piece of legislation that may include last-minute additions. The Low Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) rules are under scrutiny, with proposals to lower the required percentage of funding from tax-exempt private activity bonds. The Bond Dealers of America and the Government Finance Officers Association continue to advocate for the revival of advance refunding, which was eliminated in 2017.

However, the integration of such experts on boards is lacking, with only 5% of surveyed companies and 12% of S&P 500 companies having them. The report emphasizes the importance of integrating cybersecurity expertise into board structures and decision-making processes. Another survey by the Cybersecurity at MIT Sloan Research Consortium highlighted the need for better board member interaction with CISOs to manage cybersecurity risks effectively.

The sustainable and responsible investment (SRI) landscape is facing increased challenges and uncertainties, particularly due to the cost-of-living crisis affecting investor behavior, political debates over sustainability definitions and priorities, and evolving regulatory expectations globally. Despite strong net retail inflows to SRI funds in the UK during 2020 and 2021, these have decreased in 2022 as economic pressures mounted. Investment managers are anticipating contributing to climate solutions at the upcoming COP28 summit, while also navigating debates on energy security and weapon production investments. Regulatory changes are imminent, with the UK preparing for new Sustainable Disclosure Requirements and sustainable investment labels, the EU reviewing its Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation, and the US SEC finalizing ESG-related rules. Investment managers remain committed to client outcomes and are working on industry-wide frameworks to define responsible investment approaches and improve communication with savers.
