Guidance for US Managers Launching European Funds

US investment managers looking for new sources of capital or diversification of their investor base are increasingly turning to Europe's commercially attractive market.

To launch a European fund successfully, however, US managers need to be familiar with European structures and their operational nuances, as well as how to navigate the EU's complex regulatory landscape.
