RESOURCE

South East Asia PE Review (1H2011)

The impact of new European regulations on non-EU based funds and managers (September 2011)
The new European super-regulator, ESMA, published its draft technical advice to the European Commission on implementing measures under the AIFM Directive with respect to "third countries".

MOFCOM Security Review and Interim Provisions (September 2011)
MOFCOM formalises security review procedures for foreign investment and promulgates interim provisions on assessing the impacts of concentrations.

Consolidation of investment fund accounts (September 2011)
Private equity and venture capital funds are invariably required to produce accounts for their investors, and (sometimes) for other audiences too – particularly regulators, and for filing on a public register.

Security review on foreign acquisitions to focus on substance of transactions (September 2011)
MOFCOM issued Announcement 53 on 25 August 2011. Announcement 53 provides formal guidance in respect of the detailed procedures of implementing a security review system and the relevant documentation requirement for foreign investors seeking to acquire Chinese enterprises.

Recent Developments on RMB Internationalization (August 2011)
Internationalization of RMB is the Chinese government’s long term objective. The 12th five-year plan emphasizes continued interest in making RMB a regional or global trade settlement currency.

India: Alternate Investment Fund Regulations (August 2011)
SEBI, the Indian Regulator, is seeking to amend regulations for alternate investment funds. One of the key questions which has arisen for fund managers is whether, from an India perspective, an offshore fund/ offshore manager would be governed by these regulations if the funds have invested in Indian entities.

NEW FAQs Section
To enhance the support to members, a new FAQs section under Resource Page has been launched.  Members are welcomed to raise questions related to the industry through the webpage. The questions will be vetted and answered by Resource committee in batches.
