PHILADELPHIA – Stradley Ronon partner Taylor Brody participated on a panel during the Investment Company Institute’s (ICI) Closed-End Fund Conference. The event, hosted Nov. 14 in New York and co-sponsored by Stradley Ronon, provides valuable insights on and shares the latest trends impacting the closed-end fund industry.
In light of the continued attacks by activist shareholders on listed closed-end funds, Taylor discussed recent activist demands and related litigation and legislative developments, along with best practices for closed-end fund advisers and boards on how they should assess and respond to activist attacks.
Taylor focuses her practice on counseling investment companies, boards of directors and investment advisers in connection with regulatory, compliance and transactional issues. She advises clients on a variety of investment management and securities law matters, including the formation, registration and ongoing operations of investment companies; the preparation of regulatory filings; the applicability and interpretation of federal and state securities laws; the drafting of compliance procedures and corporate policies; and various transactional matters, such as fund mergers and closed-end fund tender offers.
