Whether launching novel investment products, reorganizing investment management businesses, or providing sound compliance advice, we help you steer through the ever-changing regulatory landscape and marketplace so that assets may grow.
Whether you’re creating a new investment product, buying a competitor or strengthening regulatory compliance, the support of a legal team that knows the industry and provides sound options is integral to your success.
Industry competition, innovation and ever-changing regulations place constant pressures on managers and their service providers to keep pace. Many of our clients are vanguards of innovation, becoming the first investment managers to introduce new structures and features.
Together, we work with asset managers, dealers, independent review committees (IRCs), service providers and regulators to produce thorough - and often novel - legal solutions.
On the products side, Fasken was at the forefront of launching exchange-traded funds (ETFs) in Canada. We created templates now used by most ETF managers, and represented the ETF association in establishing the ETF Facts accepted by regulators. We also developed the unit traded fund product as a new closed-end fund. Today, we work with clients adopting FinTech into their platform. Our clients are at the leading edge of alternative products such as private equity, private lending, mortgage, or infrastructure pools and insurance-based products.
