Join us for an in-person seminar where speakers will explore key trends in side letters and offer practical guidance on negotiation strategies. The session will provide an overview of the core features and evolving use of side letters, including:

• insights into the prevalence of common commercial terms such as most favoured nation (MFN) provisions
• transparency and risk reporting
• enhanced liquidity
• fee discounts
• capacity rights.

Speakers will also examine other notable provisions, alongside broader themes relating to the types of investors requesting side letters and regional variations in approach. The session will conclude with practical, experience-based tips for both requesting and responding to side letter terms, drawing on findings from the 2025 Hedge Funds Side Letter Survey.
