ANREV Regulatory & Tax Webinar

The Cayman Islands Government has enacted the Private Funds Law, 2020 (the "Law") providing for the registration with the Cayman Islands Monetary Authority ("CIMA") of various closed-ended fund vehicles (termed "private funds").
Related regulations provide for a six-month transitional period. 

The definition of a "private fund" under the Law is nuanced.  It is likely that any main, parallel or feeder funds will fall within the definition and be required to register.  However, other types of vehicles may well fall outside the definition.

The Maples Group provided ANREV members with a brief outline of the Law, registration process, ongoing obligations and generally things to look out for under the Law!
