On 2 October 2012, the Propter Homines Chair of Banking and Securities Law of the Institute for Financial Services will hold the 6th Liechtenstein Funds Forum at the University of Liechtenstein.
The continuing education event on European securitization law will focus on securitization regulations in accordance with the AIFM and UCITS directives, and their relationship with other European securitization regulations, the CRD directives in particular. The regulations affect all securitizations carried out by Liechtenstein and other European intermediaries since January 2011, and form part of a European initiative aimed at harmonizing securitization law across all financial intermediaries. As a result of this initiative, all fund companies, as well as companies that carry out securitizations, will be subject to binding investment restrictions for the first time.
Practical and up to date
In the scope of the 6th Liechtenstein Funds Forum, David Eckner, research assistant at the Propter Homines Chair of Banking and Securities Law and manager of the Center for Business and Corporate Law at Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf, will present the basic principles of European securitization law. In his lecture entitled “Consequences and implementation”, Professor Dirk A. Zetzsche, LL. M. (Toronto), who holds the Propter Homines Chair of Banking and Securities Law, will analyse the impact on the financial industry and illustrate the lines of connection with the CRD directives and the securitization regulations in other European directives. The event will clarify issues such as how securitization will take place in the future, the obligations on the fund manager and the authorizations required by intermediaries for securitization.
The forum is intended for depositaries, promoters, fund managers and financial intermediaries from the Swiss, Austrian and German financial centres, as well as Financial Market Authority staff. Interested researchers and students are also welcome. A subsequent discussion and drinks reception will provide an opportunity for participants to exchange ideas.
