Participants in this webinar will gain insights into topics including: Best practices for vetting and engaging with investments and fund managers in high-risk jurisdictions. How to establish protocols in preparation for the compliance requirements of the changing regulatory environment. Three reasons why you join us on July 15 Regulatory regimes around the world are evolving and expanding. Higher education endowments must ensure compliance with not only all federal and state laws, but increasingly, foreign regulations as well. Recently, a number of legislative proposals have been advanced that seek to regulate endowment activity and revoke tax-exempt status, leading to heightened scrutiny of and public visibility into endowments and their activities. Expanding into high-return but high-risk jurisdictions can also intensify reputational risks to institutions.
