The following session took place during Caribbean Insolvency Symposium in February 2017. This panel will explore the decision of the U.K. to leave the European Union in June 2016 and its many far-reaching political implications for hedge funds and the private-equity industry, many of which are still generally unclear. The recent U.S. presidential elections also waged war on the private-equity industry, and on hedge funds in particular. The panel will look at how Brexit and the U.S. elections have impacted and continue to impact hedge funds and the private-equity industry, particularly in terms of managing, distributing and exiting funds. It will also examine what it means for the restructuring and winding-up of entities commonly used in the hedge fund and private-equity industry generally and those sectors that are most likely to be impacted, with a particular focus on the Cayman Islands, Ireland and the U.S. All sessions from this conference can be accessed at https://cle.abi.org/.
