AIMA Hong Kong Seminar: The Current State of Economic Substance Requirements in the Cayman Islands

Hong Kong

AIMA and Maples Group invite you to join our lunch seminar in Hong Kong on Thursday 18 April 2019.  
Since the beginning of this year, a new legislation came into effect in the Cayman Islands, with requirements to have demonstrable economic substance in Cayman.

During the session, the speakers will  discuss the following:       

  • Why has the Cayman Islands introduced this legislation?
  • What problems is the new legislation supposed to solve?
  • Outline of each "relevant entity" and each "relevant activity"
  • How does this new legislation impact  Cayman-registered funds (private equity funds, hedge funds, SLPs, co-investment vehicles, single-investor funds)?
  • Recommended solutions to create substance in the Cayman Islands (if necessary)
