Event Synopsis:

On December 4, 2015, the Small Business Investment Company (SBIC) Advisers Relief Act was signed into law. The Relief Act amends three registration provisions of the Investment Adviser Act of 1940 (the Advisers Act) that will affect advisers to SBICs. The Act will provide relief to SBIC fund advisers who are still registered with or still reporting to SEC despite the SBIC Fund Adviser Exemption under The Dodd Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010. Through the Advisers Act, SBIC advisers no longer need to register with state securities regulators.

In this LIVE webcast, a panel of thought leaders and professionals brought together by The Knowledge Group will provide the audience with an in-depth discussion of the fundamentals and recent developments of the SBIC Advisers Relief Act. The speakers will also offer the audience with the best practices and practicalities on how to best comply with the legal requirements of the SBIC Advisers Relief Act.

Key topics include:

§     SBIC Advisers Relief Act - Legal Primer

§     Identifying Federal Exemptions

§     Expanding Private Fund Adviser Exemptions

§     Preemption of State Registration Requirements

§     Amendments to Section 203(l), Section 203A(b) and Section 203(m)
