Members-only event, by invitation

Sweeping reforms in U.S. securities oversight are reshaping the regulatory landscape with significant implications for Canadian asset managers and institutional investors. With nearly half of Canada’s $2.4 trillion pension assets invested in the U.S., these changes directly affect fiduciary oversight, governance, and investment security.

Key developments include:

  • The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC)’s reorganization under the Office of Management and Budget, altering enforcement and independence.
  • Reforms in Delaware’s Court of Chancery and corporate statutes, shifting shareholder rights and litigation risk.
  • Evolving enforcement of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA), with implications for cross-border private equity and infrastructure.

This invitation-only session will follow the Chatham House Rule and engage senior leaders from Canadian asset managers, pension plans, banks, and other financial institutions in a forward-looking discussion on what these U.S. reforms mean for governance, strategy, and business decision-making.

Please note that this invitation is exclusive and not transferable.

Speakers:
Preethi Krishnamurthy, Partner, Bernstein Litowitz Berger & Grossmann LLP
Jeff Kehoe, former Enforcement Director, Ontario Securities Commission
