The importance of conducting due diligence on fund investments

A recent High Court case has demonstrated the importance of conducting due diligence on fund investments and checking documentation prior to investment. The case illustrated the difficulties that can be faced in the event of a perceived breach by the fund manager, and that wording in a private placement memorandum may not be binding if the contractual documents contain alternative wording.

Investment funds

Uncertain investment conditions and an ever tougher regulatory environment mean conditions are difficult for investment funds. You need legal advisors that can make their experience and market knowledge count where it matters.
