NEWSLETTER: With the new administration settling in, we’re seeing a lot of change over the horizon. From a pivot in strategy for crypto to market disruptions in private equity and closed-ended funds, it looks as though we’re in for a busy year.
The hot topic of the moment is definitely crypto regulation, which has historically been marked by uncertainty in the US. With the Presidential Working Group working on a regulatory framework and the inception of the SEC’s new Crypto Task Force, a shift in the digital asset landscape seems imminent.
For private equity and closed-ended funds, 2025 will likely be just as turbulent. Challenges around volatility, tariffs, and a lack of talent will bring with them a wave of uncertainty. Despite this, we look at what the regulator will be keeping its eye on and discuss opportunities that investors can maximize to give them an edge.
With spring just around the corner, now is an opportune time to take stock of your internal compliance structure, and whether it’s helping or hindering your business operations. We’ve identified four steps you can take to get your culture of compliance right and make sure your CCO has a seat at the decision-making table.
A final point worth noting is that FinCEN has announced a new Beneficial Ownership CTA reporting deadline of March 21, 2025. This means firms in scope have less than a month to get their reports finalized.
If you need any help or guidance on any of the above points, let us know.
