Hedge Fund Vista Special: Digital Assets

Following the US election, we have seen a resurgence of interest from hedge fund managers in digital assets funds and investments.

Our Hedge Fund Vista special, hosted by Tom Pointer, featured partners George Morris, Paul Metcalfe and Martin Shah discussing the following and more:

• What are the key regulatory considerations when managing digital assets and what’s on the horizon?

• What are the typical counterparty arrangements for digital asset investments? Are there differences in the key negotiation points from TradFi arrangements?

• Does the UK tax regime treat digital asset investments and/or managers different from TradFi? Are any changes expected going forwards?

• What key issues do you need to consider when deciding on fund terms and/or documentation for product that will invest in digital assets?
