Asia Funds & Financial Services Newsletter

July 8, 2022
This issue of Sidley’s Asia Funds and Financial Services Newsletter discusses important regulatory and enforcement developments that impact financial institutions, investment advisers, and investment funds operating in the Asia-Pacific region in a fast-changing regulatory landscape, with a special focus on the recent proposals to significantly expand the enforcement powers of the Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) to tackle cross-border insider dealing, to give statutory backing to certain breaches of the Code of Conduct, as well as to narrow the well-trafficked private placement exemptions widely used in the industry to market professional investors.
