Managers and sponsors of hedge funds and funds of funds commission the creation of disclosure documents to explain their products and minimize their personal risk exposure. These disclosure documents can be descriptive, but often end up being dense and opaque. Industry convention and the anti-fraud provisions of the securities laws govern how these documents are prepared. The more opaque the disclosure document is, the less likely the disclosure document will adequately describe the plan, the purposes, and the risks of investment, and accomplish the legal objective of true, complete, and accurate disclosure. Recent market retrenchment, beginning with the credit crisis in 2008, tested hedge fund disclosures like no time in the recent past.This second edition of Hedge Fund Disclosure Documents Line by Line capitalizes on this recent economic trauma by rewriting and expanding the fund disclosure to address modern hedge fund risks, while at the same time providing the user with a useful guide to the intricacies of the issues presented by the contemporary investment environment. The document analyzed in this publication, the confidential Private Placement Memorandum of the ABC Fund, LLC is one of the more expansive documents presently in the marketplace, and contains the proverbial "kitchen sink" of risk disclosure and descriptive materials along with explanatory notes. While not as comprehensive as the required prospectus and statement of additional information of a fund registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, the ABC Fund has elected to meet the disclosure requirements not only of Regulation D under the Securities Act of 1933, but also regulations under the Commodity Exchange Act. A CD-ROM is included, which provides searchable PDF and Word versions of the book and sample agreements. About the Author Gregory J.

He advises broker dealers on Securities Exchange Act issues and FINRA compliance. Mr. Nowak also handles mergers and acquisitions, corporate law matters, and regulated investment company tax work.

This book is, in part, adapted from speeches I have given to medical, insurance, and legal organizations across the United States and in Australia and Canada over the last two years. Liability exposure has been a major issue for healthcare and insurance professionals for a long time, and they are looking for new solutions to an old problem. More and more doctors, nurses, risk managers, hospital administrators, and insurance executives are turning to Sorry Works! for answers. I thought it was time to put Sorry Works! in a book that was concise and to the point. Along the way I met and had the pleasure of working with James Saxton and his team at the law firm of Stevens & Lee. It was fascinating to me how as lawyers and health law consultants they were spreading the same message. To make sure this message was well grounded in law and risk management principles, we collaborated, and this book is part of that partnership. This book adequately covers the topic of disclosure and apology but has intentionally been kept short so even the busiest professional could read it on a plane ride or over a weekend. Though Sorry Works! has its roots in medicine, it is my hope that this book finds a wider audience in corporations, the small business community, and other sectors of our society that are concerned about litigation. I also hope the book appears in college course syllabi so future doctors, lawyers, and business people can read, discuss, and debate it. Indeed, if Sorry Works! can work in medical malpractice (often thought to be one of the most contentious and expensive litigation arenas) imagine what it can do elsewhere! Moreover, though Sorry Works! is a process and program, it also a way of life universal to all people. Indeed, Sorry Works! returns us to our parents' lessons about apology and fixing mistakes. People can actually live with mistakes, but they do not accept or tolerate cover-ups. Sorry Works! taps into this psyche and, in doing so, provides a simple yet deva
The study of apocalyptic has been David Russell's life-work, and over the years, with the discovery of new material and ongoing study, he has reassessed his earlier interpretation in a number of respects. This new book, written with all the freshness that made his Between the Testaments a classic which is still widely read today, provides a short but comprehensive guide to the latest state of research into apocalyptic. After identifying and redefining the literature, Dr. Russell examines the birth and growth of apocalyptic and investigates the reasons for its popularity. He then goes on to consider particular apocalyptic groups and apocalyptic books, the idea of revelation, and the main ideas of apocalyptic. The book ends with a Christian perspective and a discussion of the significance of apocalyptic for today.
As a tool for operationalizing strategy, evaluating and improving performance, and communicating the two, the Balanced Scorecard has already proven its value at hundreds of organizations. But most scorecard users are overlooking another valuable use of the scorecard's metrics, according to co-authors Marc J. Epstein and Priscilla S. Wisner. In Part Two of this series, the authors argue that the external disclosure of scorecard-like nonfinancial performance measures--or voluntary measures that "tell the corporate story"--can offer substantial payoffs.
