Cees-Frans Greeven speaker at European Branch meeting of IBSA | 2 April, 2019 | Brussels

The title of this discussion group meeting is "Developments in EU investment funds | opportunities in Luxembourg and Cyprus" 

Following the political agreement reached by the European Parliament and EU Member States on the 5 February 2019 to improve the EU's investment fund market, Roy Saunders of IFS Consultants, Michael Pelosi of Elias Neocleous & Co LLC and Cees-Frans Greeven of Buren Avocats S.à r.l. of the IBSA have great pleasure in inviting you to join for a discussion group meeting on the developments in EU Investment Funds, structuring the Funds and their investments in the most efficient manner, raising additional finance and examining the jurisdictions in which such Funds are registered.

The expert panel will cover:

• How fund managers can market their products across the EU at lower costs, giving investors more choice and better value without compromising on investor protection.
• How increased transparency will affect cross-border distribution of funds in the EU and how funding can best benefit companies to get them the financing they need to grow.
• Why Funds registered in certain EU jurisdictions may be more capable of maximising returns to Investors through the application of their double tax treaty network, and the effect of the MLI introduced as a result of the BEPS initiative of the OECD.
• The procedures for managers of collective investment funds to exit national markets when terminating the offering or placement of their funds.

Date and time: 2 April, 2019 | 18:00
Location: The Hotel Brussels, Boulevard de Waterloo 38, 1000 Brussels.
