First Phosphate Corp. CEO John Passalacqua joined Steve Darling from Proactive to discuss a major milestone for the company as it formalized international investment and offtake agreements under the Critical Minerals Resilience and Production Alliance at the 52nd G7 Summit in Évian, France. Passalacqua said the company has received multiple letters of interest (LOIs) from export credit agencies, financial institutions, and industrial partners aimed at supporting the development of its integrated phosphate and lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery materials strategy in North America. Among the highlights is an LOI for up to C$275 million in guarantees from the Export and Investment Fund of Denmark to support development of the company's flagship Bégin-Lamarche phosphate mine in Quebec. In addition, First Phosphate received support from key Italian institutions, including SACE, Cassa Depositi e Prestiti (CDP), and SIMEST, along with engineering group MAIRE, for the planned phosphoric acid plant at Port Saguenay utilizing technology from Italy's Ballestra. Passalacqua noted that the initiative now has support from five governments and institutions across Canada, the European Union, Denmark, Italy, and Belgium, underscoring the growing strategic importance of establishing a secure Western supply chain for LFP battery materials. The company believes the endorsements represent a significant validation of its mine-to-market strategy, which aims to localize production of critical phosphate materials used in energy storage systems, AI data centers, robotics, advanced manufacturing, electric mobility, and national security applications. First Phosphate also announced quantified offtake commitments under the G7 Alliance framework. The agreements represent approximately $100 million in annual offtake value per agreement, covering roughly 22% of projected mine output and 32% of planned phosphoric acid plant production. Management views the support from major government-backed financial institutions and industrial partners as a key step toward advancing both the Bégin-Lamarche mine and downstream processing facilities while strengthening North America's critical minerals supply chain. #proactiveinvestors #firstphosphatecorp #cse #phos #otcqx #frspf #frspf #BeginLamarche #PhosphateMining #LFPBatteries #BatteryMaterials #EnergyTransition #PhosphateMining #G7 #SupplyChainSecurity #EnergyStorage #MiningNews

The uncovered emails show that the son of a Democratic senator had direct communication with Jeffrey Epstein and at one point expressed interest in bringing Epstein into his investment fund. The exchanges suggest that Epstein was viewed as a valuable financial contact, with the senator's son indicating he enjoyed their discussions and saw potential benefit in a professional relationship. The tone of the correspondence portrays Epstein not as a pariah, but as someone still welcomed in elite financial and social circles even after his prior legal issues were publicly known.The revelations raise broader questions about how deeply Epstein remained embedded within influential networks despite his criminal history. The emails illustrate a willingness among well-connected individuals to overlook or compartmentalize his past in favor of access to his wealth, connections, or perceived financial acumen. Critics argue this reflects a larger pattern in which Epstein continued to maintain legitimacy and influence among powerful figures long after his initial conviction, reinforcing concerns about systemic failures to isolate him from positions of power and access.The emails don't just show casual contact—they expose a glaring contradiction between public posture and private behavior. Senator Ron Wyden has built much of his political identity around oversight, accountability, and holding powerful actors to account, yet the correspondence involving his son paints a very different picture operating behind the scenes. While Epstein had already been exposed as a serial abuser with a deeply troubling criminal history, Wyden's son was reportedly exploring ways to bring him into an investment fund and openly expressing that he enjoyed their conversations. That isn't passive association or accidental overlap—it reflects a willingness to engage, network, and potentially profit from a man whose reputation should have made him untouchable. When that kind of proximity exists within the orbit of a sitting U.S. senator who regularly speaks about justice and institutional integrity, it raises serious questions about whether those principles are applied consistently or selectively.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Dem senator's son sought investment from Epstein at Manhattan mansion in 2016 | Fox NewsBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

This week on Swimming with Allocators, Erik Balck Sørensen joins Earnest and Alexa to share his journey from serial founder in an almost non-existent Danish startup scene to CIO of Denmark's Export and Investment Fund, a sovereign platform backing innovation at scale. Erik explains how Denmark went from having no venture funds or ecosystem infrastructure to becoming a global player in biotech, green tech, and deep tech, and why “giving back” and tight founder communities were crucial to that evolution. He breaks down what it really means to run a sovereign wealth fund with a dual mandate, balancing financial returns for taxpayers with societal impact, and how political momentum, past missteps, and investment discipline shape their strategy. Erik also details Denmark's 2030 plan: moving faster, professionalizing as an LP and direct investor, and doubling or tripling down on stronghold verticals like life sciences, selected green technologies, quantum computing, and European growth-stage capital. Additionally, Chuck Daly explains how evolving market dynamics, LP demands, and longer-dated, more complex venture products are reshaping the regulatory landscape for VC managers, driving greater scrutiny on valuation, fund structures, and exemptions, and highlighting the value of Sidley's deep, shared institutional expertise for GPs navigating this shift.

In this special "spun around" episode of the Grow Your Wealth podcast, the tables are turned as Mark Sherwood interviews the show's regular host and iPartners co-founder, Travis Miller. The conversation marks the six-year anniversary of the iPartners Credit Investment Fund, a flagship strategy designed to offer wealth creation with lower volatility than public equity markets. Travis reflects on the fund's origins, which grew out of investor demand for managed, diversified access to alternative assets rather than individual deal-picking. He discusses how the strategy has navigated major macro hurdles - including COVID-19 disruptions and the shift from record-low interest rates to a higher-rate environment - while maintaining a consistent track record. Travis also dives into the broader iPartners fund suite, explaining the differences between private credit, bond income, and emerging equities, while sharing his "hustle" philosophy on competing with traditional banks. Whether you are a seasoned investor or just starting with alternatives, this episode provides a transparent look at the DNA of a private credit fund and the importance of sizing bets for long-term success. 00:00:00] – Introduction: Mark Sherwood Takes the Mic to Interview Travis Miller [00:01:37] – The Six-Year Milestone: Reflecting on the Anniversary of the iPartners Credit Fund [00:03:45] – Navigating Macro Cycles: Managing Credit Through COVID, Inflation, and Rate Hikes [00:06:02] – The Reality of Risk: Learning from "Bumps in the Road" and Managing Maturities [00:09:32] – Performance Breakdown: Delivering Consistent Returns and Building Investor Trust [00:11:01] – The Product Suite: Comparing the Core Income, Bond Income, and Property Credit Funds [00:13:46] – Portfolio Diversification: Target Loan Counts and the Evolving iPartners Investor Base [00:15:45] – Emerging Equities: Moving Down the Capital Structure for Growth-Focused Returns [00:17:41] – Banks vs. Private Lenders: Competing on Speed and Complexity in Today's Market [00:22:15] – Final Lessons: The Critical Role of Education and Proper Asset Allocation iPartners Website: https:/www.ipartners.com.au Register Here: https://ipartners.iplatforms.com.au/register/register-as-wholesale/ iPartners LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/ipartners-pty-ltd

Joslyn Berndt founded the innovative CARES program in collaboration with the University of Texas Steve Hicks School of Social Work in 2017. In this new episode of Social Work Talks, we sit down with her to discuss the program, which houses social workers in an investment business and empowers them to foster productive and personalized landlord-resident communication, especially in times of crisis. 

Ethical investing seems to be a hot topic when it comes to choosing an investment fund or KiwiSaver provider. I've often heard providers boast that their fund is ethical - they avoid weapons manufacturers, focus on renewable and sustainable energy - you won't feel a possible sense of guilt around where your money is going.

Reps. David Scott (D-GA) and Tom Suozzi (D-NY) appeared to “doze off” during Donald Trump's SOTU address. On our radar this week… “The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.”  – George Orwell, “1984” We opened last week's podcast with those words from Orwell's prescient dystopian novel. On Tuesday, Donald Trump lived those words in a gibbering, rambling, bitter, divisive, partisan, and lie-filled one-hour 47-minute diatribe. The speech was boycotted by dozens of Democrats … and a majority of the U.S. Supreme Court and, based on the TV ratings, the majority of Americans. Newly elected Virginia Governor Abigail Spanberger, in the official Democratic response, summed up Trump in one biting paragraph: “…who benefits from his rhetoric, his policies, his actions, the short list of laws he’s pushed through this Republican Congress? Somebody must be benefiting. He’s enriching himself, his family, his friends. The scale of the corruption is unprecedented. There’s the coverup of the Epstein files, the crypto scams cozying up to foreign princes for airplanes and billionaires for ballrooms, putting his name and face on buildings all over our. Nations capital. This is not what our founders envisioned. Not by a long shot. So I’ll ask again. Is the president working for you? We all know the answer is no.” Ryan Garza – Detroit Free Press A day later, Governor Whitmer offered her 8th and final State of the State assessment: realistic, grounded in reality, and a reflection of someone whose approval rating is 15 points higher than Trump's. Multiple polls show a stunning 60+ percent of Americans say Trump sucks while Whitmer's approval has consistently been in the low-to-mid 50's. Whitmer's speech focused on “kitchen table” issues: affordability, medical debt, housing and literacy. She somehow forgot to label Republicans as “Low IQ”, “Crazy”, “Lunatics” or responsible for all of Michigan's problems … she didn't even once blame anything on Rick Snyder … but she did take the opportunity to brag about Michigan athletes dominating the U.S. medal count at the Olympics. And she even high-fived House Speaker MAGA Matt Hall for working collaboratively on sick-time legislation! The contrasts between those two speeches frame this week's discussion. Later in the podcast, we are joined by two anti-authoritarian experts to discuss an issue facing many American families and neighbors: how we can talk with each other in this era of often-angry partisan divisions – and why it is critical that we do. We've all been there. Going to the Sunday family dinner that always devolves into a debate about Trump. A few of my extended family members are MAGA to the point where we avoid politics completely. Scrolling through Facebook and encountering that childhood friend whose feed has become a minefield of MAGA memes. For a decade, the conventional wisdom for surviving the American political divide has been “don't go there.” We've treated political topics like radioactive waste—best left buried for the sake of the relationship. The folks at the Democracy Investment Fund think that silence is costing us more than we realize. Their new free app, LSTN2U, is a bet on a radical idea: that we can actually talk to each other again, provided we stop trying to “win.” LSTN2U isn't a social media network or a news aggregator. It's essentially a flight simulator for difficult conversations. The free, nonpartisan app provides a judgment-free digital resource where users can practice realistic dialogue. We're joined by the two people behind this optimistic approach to politics: my friends Erin Dobson and Trygve Olson. LSTN2U is a free app: no upsells or hidden fees. Your data is not sold or used commercially. LSTN2U emphasizes: Active Listening: Truly hearing the “why” behind someone's “what.” Emotional Awareness: Identifying when your own “fight or flight” response is hijacking the logic centers of your brain. Boundary Setting: Learning how to stay in a conversation without losing your peace of mind—and knowing when it's OK to step back. Other issues on our radar this week that, in more normal times, would occupy an entire podcast include The appearance that Donald “Give Me the Nobel Peace Prize” Trump is on the verge of starting a war with Iran … a war that could rival the Iraq and Afghanistan wars in futility, and further alienate the United States from the world. This comes six months after Trump claimed to have obliterated Iran's nuclear weapons capabilities. Apparently obliteration has a short shelf life. The Epstein cover-up became even more evident with the revelation that dozens of documents pointing directly at Trump … including allegations of sexually assaulting a 13-year-old girl … have been hidden by the utterly corrupt Pam Bondi. But Republicans on Capitol Hill are more interested in the Clintons, with Bill and Hillary dragged in front of the House Oversight Committee this week for depositions that will keep the Epstein story in the headlines … but provide little else. After the Supreme Court told him his tariffs were illegal, Trump doubled down by imposing a 10 percent then 15 percent tariff on all imports. If, as Trump says, those tariffs would replace the federal income tax, it would be a huge financial windfall for the highest income taxpayers … his billionaire buddies, shifting the tax load to low- and middle-income families. Republicans are pushing to pass a bill to combat non-existent voter fraud. The so-called “SAVE” act would, in reality, burdening millions of Americans as they exercise their right to vote by requiring proof of citizenship to register to vote. The proof: either a birth certificate or passport. Millions of American citizens, including low-income, minorities, seniors, and -get this- women who have a different last name than they were born with, would have to jump through hoops and incur costs to comply. FBI Director Kash Patel spent $1-million or more of taxpayer money for a thinly disguised junket to the Olympics, culminating with chugging beer with the victorious U.S. men's hockey team. Of course, he claimed official business as an excuse for his trip. New polling shows the race for Governor appears to show the race is a statistical tie, with Democrat Jocelyn Benson narrowly leading Republican John James and independent Mike Duggan. But the polling raises questions, especially because the poll was commissioned by supporters of Mike Duggan. The poll assumes James will be the survivor of a four-way GOP primary race, with 78-year-old Perry Johnson promising now to spend $10-million over the next few weeks in a statewide advertising blitz. Legislation has been introduced to limit the use of artificial intelligence to monitor workplace activity. State Representative Penelope Tsernoglou joined with Michigan AFL CIO President Ron Bieber to warn of abuses already happening as some employers use A.I. to monitor everything from computer activity to bathroom breaks. State House Speaker Matt Hall is floating a property tax relief plan funded by enacting a new tax on services – an idea once promoted unsuccessfully by Jennifer Granholm. The Department of Homeland Security says ICE officers will not interfere with voting precincts in November … but a lot of people are skeptical given the history of voting fraud conspiracy promoters making the promise.

KiwiSaver is a newsmaker. It's making news of late because of the so-called "hardship withdrawals". Bad news is an easy headline. What is covered less is the bulk of the KiwiSaver story i.e. lots of people are in it, the returns are growing and, for most people, it is a half decent way to save on a long-term basis. But also in the latest quarterly statements (this is for the December quarter) is a fun fact that those who like to fixate on competition could do with looking at. KiwiSaver and those who run the various funds is not a lot different to banking, or supermarkets, or airlines, or telcos, or power companies. In other words, if you want to, you can ask some questions around competition. Like the last Government, this Government has been fixated with competition, or lack of it. They have investigated it, jawboned it, threatened it, and sometimes introduced rules and laws to change it. Yet punters choice rarely gets given the weighting it should. In KiwiSaver there are about 25 providers and yet five have the bulk of our money. Why? Is there a lack of competition? Clearly not. In fact, three of the top five are the banks. Oh, the irony! We hate the banks, the banks rip us off, the banks are to be treated with the utmost suspicion, if only we had more competition with banks. In KiwiSaver we do and yet we can't flock to the banks fast enough with our life savings. The lesson I think, if any of us want to learn it, around power companies and banks and insurance is basically we are lazy. Moaning is easier than doing something about our problem. The laziness is never better exemplified in KiwiSaver than with the ridiculous number of default accounts i.e. people who can't even be bothered picking a fund. There are 25 providers and five of them have 65% of the business, which is $90 billion of the $145 billion under stewardship. Are we exercised? Are we worried? Do we even realise? Don't look now, but they actually do a good job as well. $5 billion was added in the past quarter. Unless you're in Bitcoin, and more fool you, over the past decade if you were in the right fund you've been getting about 9% a year, every year, for 10 years. That almost sounds like a model that works. It could be the competition. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Guest: Anatol Lieven. The conversation turns to the $300 billion in suspended Russian assets. Lieven outlines Russia'sproposal to use these funds for reconstruction or a joint investment fund to avoid confiscation, suggesting that suspending rather than lifting sanctions could be a political compromise to secure U.S. Senate approval.1855 CRIMEA

A recent Supreme Court ruling has put the process of how India taxes foreign investors in focus. The top court ruled in favour of the Income Tax Department by setting aside the Delhi High Court's judgment quashing the tax demand of Tiger Global.  Tiger Global ⁠and Indian tax authorities have been locked in a legal tussle over its 2018 stake sale in Flipkart to Walmart worth ₹14,440 crore $1.6 billion. The deal was part of the ‌U.S. retail company's $16 billion acquisition of Flipkart that year. Indian tax authorities ‍argued Tiger Global wrongly used the India-Mauritius tax avoidance treaty to not pay any tax on its profits, the investment firm argued it can do so as the treaty exempted such a transaction. The tax authorities say the Tiger Global Mauritius units served merely as a conduit for Tiger Global U.S., a description the investment ⁠firm says is incorrect. The Supreme Court has been hearing the case since January 2025 and the ruling has raised wider questions about tax treaties, anti-avoidance rules, and how India balances tax fairness with investor confidence.

This Flashback Friday is from episode 541 published last July 13, 2015. Massive shifts in the world economy are coming and may be as soon as 2020. The United States has the unique opportunity to take charge of the change through technological breakthroughs that will lead us down the utopian path. In addition, the U.S. is still the best country in which to make real estate investments. But if you do it be wise about it. Private investments are one of the safest vehicles to create your wealth. Be wary of group investment funds which put the control of the funds in someone else's hands. Jason cautions his listeners against this type of investing.

If you think the IRS is always right because they “have the numbers,” this episode will shake that faith real quick.In this 12 Days of Giving episode, I'm back with Enrolled Agent, Morgan Q. Anderson, and she walks us through a real-life tax horror story that somehow turns into a Christmas win. A client invests in an alternative fund, the administrator bails, and out of nowhere a bogus 1099-R for $196,000 gets dropped on his file. The IRS treats it like gospel and grabs $116,000 of his refund for a tax bill on income he never actually received.We break down the whole thing: the original $90K investment, the reinvestment, the admin resigning because of an expired card, and then the lazy “we're done, here's a 1099-R, good luck” move. Morgan lays out how that one piece of bad paper turned into years of notices, threats, and stress—and how both the IRS and the account administrator basically played hot potato with responsibility while holding this guy's six-figure refund hostage.Then we get into the fight. Morgan walks through the timeline of building the case: documenting the transactions, proving the money was never distributed, pulling statements, getting a letter from the fund manager, and invoking the Taxpayer Bill of Rights—specifically your right to pay no more than the correct amount of tax. When the IRS dragged their feet for over a year with five “give us 90 more days” letters, she took it to the Taxpayer Advocate Service and finally forced movement.The best part? Not only did her client get the $116,000 refund back, the IRS also had to pay over $30,000 in interest on money they sat on for almost two years. That's why we call this a Christmas story. The system is messy and often unfair—but you're not powerless, and you're not crazy for questioning a notice.We close by turning this into a playbook: how to pull your wage and income transcript, why you need to update your address with every financial institution you touch, and why you should never let a scary letter push you into quietly overpaying tax you do not owe. This episode will calm your anxiety, piss you off a little, and give you very real steps to protect yourself this tax season.

The Western Development Commission's (WDC) Western Investment Fund (WIF) has reached a major milestone, having now invested €100 million across more than 350 SMEs, social enterprises, community projects and strategic regional initiatives throughout the Western Region. The WIF is unique in Ireland as an evergreen investment fund, where all returns are reinvested into new start-ups and scale-ups. Since its establishment, the fund has more than tripled in size, and this €100 million milestone represents the fourth full revolution of the original exchequer funding received. To date, WIF investment has leveraged over €1 billion in additional public and private capital, a tenfold multiplier effect that has significantly strengthened the enterprise landscape of the West. WIF portfolio companies and projects now employ more than 5,000 people directly and indirectly, have generated over €5 billion in revenues, half of which are exports. Supported companies have collectively invested €650 million in R&D, underscoring the growing innovation capacity of the region. The WIF is a multi-faceted fund, providing both venture capital to high-potential SMEs, and social finance to social enterprises and community-led development projects that support inclusive regional growth. Representative investments include: Innovative SMEs such as Aerogen, whose technology has treated 75 million patients worldwide and developed the world's first inhaled vaccine. Altocloud which was acquired by Genesys and now have their global headquarters for Generative AI Galway.

Community projects such as enterprise centres, creative hubs, and renewable energy co-operatives, which strengthen local economies and social infrastructure. Burrishole Community Centre in Mayo the first new community centre to be developed in the region in the past decade, community centres are key focal points for communities offering range of services. Minister for Rural and Community Development and the Gaeltacht Dara Calleary TD, welcomed the announcement, saying: "The WIF has been providing equity finance and loans to businesses, communities, social enterprises, strategic initiatives, and the creative industry to enable them to establish themselves and grow in the Western Region for over 25 years. It has become a vital engine for sustainable economic development in the West and is an example of what regionally focused investment can achieve. It has helped hundreds of businesses and community projects from Donegal to Clare, and this €100 million milestone demonstrates the real and lasting impact of the Fund". Gillian Buckley, Head of Investment at the WDC, added: "The Western Investment Fund has been a cornerstone investor for the West - providing long-term, patient capital for businesses and communities that drive regional growth. What makes the fund truly distinctive is its circular nature: every euro returned is reinvested into the next generation of entrepreneurs, innovators, and community leaders. The WIF has not only supported the creation of jobs and enterprises, but has also helped shape a vibrant and sustainable regional economy and enterprise ecosystem." The WIF continues to play a pivotal role in developing the enterprise and innovation ecosystem in the Western Region, working with state agencies, local authorities, and private investors to ensure the region remains a dynamic and competitive contributor to Ireland's national economy. Allan Mulrooney, CEO of Western Development Commission, said, "Our new strategy, Unlocking Potential, Driving Change, marks an ambitious next chapter for the Investment Fund. Over the next five years, we will invest an additional €35 million across 100 projects, driving innovation, sustainability, and competitiveness across the Western Region. Our focus is on building a stronger, more resilient r...

The Social Investment Agency has revealed that its initial round of funding will focus on children of families with complex needs. 

Jonathan Booth, Chartered Financial Analyst and CPA accredited in business valuation, joins Discover Lafayette to share his remarkable journey from being a young boy of 11 years of age falling in love with stock investments to CEO and Managing Partner of Booth Laird Capital Management, a boutique investment firm based in Lafayette. “My uncle would buy me stock in McDonald's…that was my birthday and Christmas present every year from all the family members instead of toys.” Jonathan's early exposure to investing—paired with a deep appreciation for Warren Buffett's philosophy of buying undervalued companies with strong fundamentals—set the tone for a career defined by rigorous analysis and long-term strategy. He emphasizes patience and discipline, especially in volatile markets: "I loved it. My uncle and I would go over the earnings releases. By the time I was in high school, I was managing my own portfolio of stocks. When I was 19, he took me to the Berkshire Hathaway annual meeting, Warren Buffett's company. They call that the Woodstock for capitalists. It's a chance to listen to Warren Buffett talk for six hours. I didn't know what to expect, but you just sit there and listen to the Oracle of Omaha, as they call him, spew wisdom." A passionate and disciplined financial strategist, Jonathan also serves on the board of FlyGuys, the Lafayette-based drone data company in which Kevin O'Leary of Shark Tank fame recently invested $3 million in a $13 million Series A-1 funding round and led the round; O'Leary's Wonder Fund investment will accelerate software innovation, expand global reach, and strengthen the commercial drone workforce. Quote from Kevin O'Leary on LinkedIn: "Big news. I recently led a $13 million Series A-1 round through the Wonder Fund North Dakota. The investment went into a company that's redefining how the physical world feeds the AI economy.Meet FlyGuys — a national network of over 16,000 FAA-certified drone pilots powering the capture and delivery of reality data at scale. From thermal roof scans to solar inspections, agriculture, and infrastructure, they handle it all. FlyGuys is the connective tissue between AI platforms and the physical world.I backed this team because their software is built to scale, their operations are rooted in service and precision, and their impact is real. AI platforms depend on clean, reliable inputs, and FlyGuys delivers exactly that. They're not just serving today's use cases, they're building global infrastructure for tomorrow's AI economy, while creating new income opportunities for drone pilots around the world. Data is the new oil. AI can't function without it. FlyGuys is building the pipeline." A native of Baton Rouge, and graduate of Catholic High and LSU, Jonathan originally pursued accounting. "I got a scholarship from the College of Business, and I chose accounting because I already did it. After my first semester, my professor hired me to work at his private accounting practice because I did pretty well in the class. And so I just kept getting pulled along into accounting and got my bachelor's and master's in accounting. Jonathan's performance earned him a rare honor: “I passed the CPA exam in 2006 with one of the ten highest scores in the world, known as the Elijah Watt Sells Award.” He also passed all three levels of the Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) exam (a minimum of three years of exams) on his first attempt. While working at Ernst & Young, Jonathan maintained his passion for investing, ultimately founding Booth Laird Capital Management. Alongside his partner Kevin Laird, Jonathan focuses on concentrated investment strategies, targeting exceptional businesses and waiting for undervaluation. “We call them compounding machines,” he explained. "The term 'hedge fund' scares a lot of people, but it's truly just the way the fund is structured. It allows us the ability and freedom to invest more as we see fit.

Episode 66: Phil Graham, Harneys When I set out to do this show, my goal was to arm aspiring fund managers with the information they need to launch and operate a fund. In the legal realm, I happen to possess a lot of that information from my day job, but there's so much more that goes into launching and operating a fund. And wise though I may be, my area of expertise doesn't cover it all. So I'm going to bring in some friends to share their wisdom in various other aspects of fund management.  I am honored to have Phil Graham, Global Head of Investment Funds and Digital Assets at Harneys on the show today to talk to us about BVI funds law.  Key Points From This Episode: Why should I choose BVI over Cayman for my offshore fund?Does my fund always need to register with the local regulator?What does the registration process cost/involve?Brief rundown of the local regulatory requirements for a BVI fund.How should I choose the right offshore counsel?Creating pathways to regulatory compliance.What's the smartest thing a new fund manager can do? Disclaimer: This show is for informational purposes only.
