Welcome to the first regular Newsletter published by Dentons' Asset Management and Investment Funds group, which contains a mixture of legal analysis and client perspective, and comprises both a half-yearly regulatory update and a series of opinion pieces on current developments (inevitably with a COVID-19 thread this time). From a client perspective, we are delighted on this occasion to share the views of Dr Christian Diller, Managing Partner at leading secondaries firm, Montana Capital Partners, on the outlook for private capital at this challenging time.

The Newsletter concludes with a technical contribution from two of our global colleagues in Singapore and the US, respectively. Across the globe, more than 200 of our lawyers are focused on the asset management sector, including on regulation, operations, products, distribution channels or opportunities. In our Newsletters, we share some of their valuable insight with you.
