Technical Brief for Investment Funds


Attached is the May 2021 publication of the Technical Brief for Investment Funds, a newsletter developed by the Loeb Smith Cayman Islands Investment Funds Technical Team.

  • FATCA/CRS Summary and Update
  • Considerations for Directors of Cayman Regulated Open-ended Funds
  • Cayman Islands’ Rule on Cybersecurity for Regulated Entities
  • New Administrative Fines for breach of Regulatory Laws.

If you have any questions, please reach out to your usual Loeb Smith contacts or any member of our Investment Funds Technical Team shown in the Bulletin
