Due to the number of sources from which information on Funds Society is obtained, there may be omissions or inaccuracies in such information. Funds Society may include facts, views, opinions and recommendations of individuals and organizations deemed of interest. Funds Society does not guarantee the accuracy, completeness or timeliness of, or otherwise endorse, these views, opinions or recommendations. The content of this guide is not intended for the retail investor or for the wealth management professional who’s clients are residents of the U.S. 2 DEAR READER, As we turn the page towards 2021, leaving behind the most disruptive year for our generation, it is with great pleasure that from Funds Society we can contribute to some normalcy presenting the fifth edition of our Asset Manager’s Guide NRI, a comprehensive list of asset management firms providing UCITS investment solutions to investment professionals in the wealth management non resident industry. For once in recent history, neither the financial sector nor the markets have been the source of this crisis. On the contrary, banks and investment firms have been part of the solution. 2020 brought important mergers in the asset management industry, but so did the previous year and the one before. The relevance of having local business development teams in a year when traveling has been nearly impossible has probably accelerated new deals with distributors that are gaining weight in the industry. Technology has helped us do the rest, and between zoom meetings and virtual summits, asset management firms have been able to conduct business in an ‘almost normal’ fashion. It is also necessary to point out another trend that has been identified recently by a survey conducted by CFA Institute as one of the most important for the coming decade: Sustainable Investing. We are finally investing the way we live, hoping to make this world a better place for the generations to come, while producing at the same time healthy returns for our clients. And the good news is that each day this is more a demand-driven trend, and less a regulatory imposition. To help you map the asset management NRI market we list almost 58 international asset management firms who do business in the NRI market through their UCITS range of products, and their contacts. We are also presenting additional information from 17 of these firms stating their business proposal for the Americas region. We truly hope this guide is a useful tool for all of you, but above all, we hope we can see you all in person soon.

Haeberle William & Mary Law School, [email protected] Follow this and additional works at: https://scholarship.law.wm.edu/facpubs Part of the Securities Law Commons Repository Citation Haeberle, Kevin S., "Information Asymmetry and the Protection of Ordinary Investors" (2019). Faculty Publications. 1954. https://scholarship.law.wm.edu/facpubs/1954 Copyright c 2019 by the authors. This article is brought to you by the William & Mary Law School Scholarship Repository. https://scholarship.law.wm.edu/facpubs Information Asymmetry and the Protection of Ordinary Investors Kevin S. Haeberle* To some, the reductions in information asymmetry provided by the main securities-specific disclosure, fraud, and insider-trading laws help ordinary investors in meaningful ways. To others, whatever their larger social value, such reductions do little, if anything for these investors. For decades, these two sides of this investor-protection divide have mostly talked past each other. This Article builds on economic theory to reveal something striking: The reductions in information asymmetry provided by the core securities laws likely impose a long-overlooked cost on buy-and-hold ordinary investors. More specifically, I explain why there is much reason to believe that the reductions take away investment return from these investors, while providing them with only limited benefits. Thus, the article presents a serious challenge to conventional wisdom on information asymmetry and the protection of ordinary investors, and argues in favor of a shift in investor-protection efforts away from the main securities laws and to areas of regulation that have received relatively little attention to date.

Scheidt Associate Director and Chief Counsel, Division of Investment Management United States Securities and Exchange Commission 100 F Street NE Washington, DC 20549-1090 Re: Request for interpretive guidance regarding Section 22(d) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 Dear Sirs: We respectfully request the Staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) to issue narrowly-tailored interpretive guidance that the restrictions of Section 22(d) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “Act”) do not apply to a broker, as that term is defined in the Act, when the broker acts as agent on behalf of its customers and charges its customers commissions for effecting transactions in a class of shares of a registered investment company (a “fund”) without any front-end loads, deferred sales charge, or other asset-based fees for sales or distribution (“Clean Shares”) as set forth in this letter. Such guidance would alleviate many of the issues that have arisen for the mutual fund industry under the Department of Labor’s fiduciary rule (the “DOL Rule”). Further, the proposed guidance would allow for a brokerage model where funds, ETFs, individual securities and other ‘like’ investment options could compete on returns and fees. The proposed model also preserves choice for investors who prefer to invest through a brokerage model and provides further transparency regarding the fees they pay and the associated services.

  • Nuveen Core Plus Impact Fund (NPCT1)
    Closed-End Funds NAV Pricing Nuveen Core Plus Impact Fund (NPCT1) ANTICIPATED OFFERING PERIOD: MARCH 26 – APRIL 27, 20212 A new closed-end fund offering designed for investors seeking: • Attractive total return potential from a primarily high quality portfolio • Income enhancing opportunities spanning the entire fixed income market • Investments with direct and measurable positive social and environmental impact • Active management leveraging Nuveen’s3 fixed income and impact investing expertise The Fund is newly organized and its common shares have no history of public trading. Shares of closed-end investment companies frequently trade at a discount from their net asset value. The risk of loss due to this discount may be greater for investors who expect to sell their shares in a relatively short period after completion of the initial public offering. An investment in the Fund involves risk, is not appropriate for all investors and is not intended to be a complete investment program. Investors could lose some of all of their investment. Please see “Risks” in the back of this brochure and the preliminary prospectus. This brochure must be preceded or accompanied by the Fund’s preliminary prospectus. The information contained in this brochure and in the preliminary prospectus is not complete and may be changed. A registration statement (including a preliminary prospectus) relating to these securities has been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), but has not yet become effective. We may not sell these securities until the registration statement filed with the SEC is effective. Neither this brochure nor the preliminary prospectus is an offer to sell these securities and neither document is soliciting an offer to buy these securities in any jurisdiction where such offer or sale is not permitted.
