US Private Equity Fund Compliance Guide

Print Friendly, PDF & Email

If you are looking for something to read during the long Thanksgiving Weekend or a great holiday present, pick up a copy of the newly released The US Private Equity Fund Compliance Guide, Volume III. PEI Media just released this follow up that updates the original 2012 edition with the ongoing review and actions of the SEC.

Once you get your hands on the Guide, you should feel free to marvel at Chapter 8: SEC Examinations: How to Successfully Handle the Process. I’m sure the author of that chapter is brilliant. I’m also sure he is ruggedly handsome and kind to animals.

If you agree, I can offer you a 15% discount. Use the code AUT_COM3 when ordering.
