Opalesque Inaugural Series of Hedge Fund Workshops

Opalesque will be offering a series of Workshops on consecutive Tuesday mornings at the Yale Club in New York City. The workshops will be chaired by Janice M. Johnson, CPA, JD. Experts in the intricacies of hedge fund operations, as well as in legal, regulatory, tax and accounting issues, will delve into concerns such as operating within the constraints of the Private Placement Memorandum, properly valuing hard-to-value assets, unrelated business tax issues, New York State tax considerations, tricks and traps of the partnership tax return, concerns of both hedge fund managers and investors, and investing in alternative alternatives such as hard assets, infrastructure and options strategies.

Crowell & Moring will be co-sponsoring the breakfast series.

On July 22nd, Bob Frucht will participate on a panel discussion regarding "Key Provisions of the Private Placement Memorandum". On July 29th, Viva Hammer will present a workshop addressing the "Application of the UBT" during a session focusing on "An Exploration of Key Tax and Accounting Issues for Hedge Funds".
