About the Course
Introduction
This CPE webinar will examine the tax and structuring considerations for private equity funds and hedge funds engaged in cross-border investments. Our accomplished panel of international tax advisers will explain how fund structures, investor classifications, and investment strategies drive U.S. and foreign tax consequences, reporting obligations, and planning opportunities for fund sponsors and investors operating globally.
Description
Private equity and hedge funds increasingly hold cross-border positions, raising complex questions about entity classification, withholding, effectively connected income, and treaty relief. Private equity and hedge fund sponsors commonly employ master-feeder arrangements, blocker corporations, and other structures to accommodate U.S. taxable investors and foreign investors. The selection of a particular structure can affect withholding obligations, treaty access, reporting requirements, effectively connected income exposure, and after-tax investment returns.
Listen as our panel of notable international tax attorneys offers practical guidance on structuring and compliance considerations for private equity and hedge funds with cross-border investments.
