Funds Focus: San Francisco - Round up and Photos

While private capital has gone global, structuring and fundraising strategies haven’t really evolved. Funds managers ask counsel for the standard answer and they get it. What they should be questioning is whether the standard fits the mandate? And is there smarter way? These questions and more were explored at our recent Funds Focus event in San Francisco, held in partnership with Foley & Lardner and CalALTs.

The panel session ‘Where will your next investor come from? Rethinking fund structures for a global capital base’ featured the following industry and legal experts:

• Brian Wheeler, Partner at Foley & Lardner
• Paul Worsnop, Partner at Appleby
• SC Moatti, Founding Managing Partner of Mighty Capital
• Elliot Refson, Head of Funds, Jersey Finance

These panellists, together with moderator Philip Pirecki, our Americas Lead, discussed how managers are adapting to a world where capital, investors and opportunities increasingly cross borders. Using real-world experiences and practical examples, they explored how jurisdictional choice can support fundraising, investor access, operational efficiency and long-term growth.

A full digest of the discussion will be published shortly.
