By popular demand, this webinar will focus on preparing an effective private placement memorandum (PPM) and its importance to fund sponsors and investors.
The PPM allows a sponsor to tell its investment story, while ensuring there is alignment of interests among sponsors and investors, a clear understanding of fund terms and investment risk transparency. In addition to discussing the regulatory framework and whether a PPM is advisable under various circumstances, we will review the common structure of a PPM.
