Due to the success of the first edition published in 2011, Sam Kay has been asked to head up the second edition of Investment Funds Jurisdictional Comparison.
As fund managers and investors come to terms with this unprecedented level of reform for our industry, it will be imperative for us all to understand the changes and how they affect cross-jurisdictional activity across the whole investment funds market. The objective of this new book is to create a single starting point of reference for clients and advisers involved in the investment funds market, covering closed-ended private funds, hedge fund and retail funds.

The 2nd Edition of Investment Funds is an invaluable tool for anyone working in this area and includes:

- Coverage of the full spectrum of investment funds, from alternative strategies to traditional retail-market funds
- Strong international focus, describing the common structures that are used for investment funds in each of the different jurisdictions
- Explaination of the tax and regulatory framework that exists for investment funds, in particular the consequences of new rules that have an extra-territorial application to the industry such as the Alternative Investment Fund Managers Directive in Europe
- A comparison of the usual commercial terms that are in place for different investment fund structures
- Marketing requirements for investment funds in all the major jurisdictions
- Insight to stay ahead of the game by providing an overview of expected developments that will affect the industry
