International Trade

International trade is essential for the growth and development of global economies and businesses.

SEC Marketing Rule FAQs Provide New Guidance on Presenting Gross and Net Performance in Extracted Performance and Investment Characteristics

On March 19, 2025, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission Division of Investment Management staff published two new questions and responses to Frequently Asked Questions (each, an FAQ) aimed at providing clarity on the “marketing rule” - Rule 206(4)-1 under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended.
