Invest Europe's Fund Structuring course aims to help private equity and venture capital professionals choose the right structure for their fund.

The following aspects, among others, will be covered:

• Key objectives in structuring a private fund: how to go about delivering a structure that is tax neutral, flexible, and well understood by the market.
• Impact of new tax requirements: recent changes affecting carried interest schemes as well as the impact on funds of changes targeting perceived tax avoidance.
• Market trends: early bird and other fee discounts, so-called 'deal-by-deal' funds, no-fault LP rights, internalisation of operations and fee/expense disclosures.
• Fundraising steps: teasers, PPMs, AIFMD disclosures, side letters (including 'most favoured nations' clauses) and closing process.
