The investment fund market has become one of the most important financial markets in the world. One reason for the growing popularity of European investment funds is their strict regulation and supervision. This course analyses various aspects of the European regulatory environment for investment funds and evaluates the impact of these regulations on the operation of a fund. The focus of the course is thus more on the operational impact of regulations than on legal issues.
