President Obama is expected to sign into law this week the landmark financial reform legislation just approved by Congress. This update, which is part of a series of DechertOnPoints regarding financial regulation reform, provides an overview of the legislation from the perspective of registered investment companies and their boards and registered investment advisers. It includes a discussion of (i) upcoming regulatory changes, including the regulation of incentive-based compensation; (ii) studies mandated by Congress that may result in future regulatory impacts; and (iii) changes to the financial markets that will impact "buy-side" participants.
