Mastering Compliance: Navigating Regulatory Risks in Continuation Funds
High interest rates and market volatility are prompting asset managers to reconsider investment strategies, leading to increased use of GP-led secondary transactions and continuation funds. These transactions allow general partners to acquire assets from existing funds, helping retain control without immediate liquidation. The SEC is monitoring these activities due to concerns about conflicts of interest and regulatory compliance, highlighted by a recent enforcement action.
