Event Synopsis:
Donald Trump's election as the US President last year shed some light on the private equity sector of the United States. Many believe that Trump will impact private equity positively because of his stand and remarks during the election campaigns. Specifically, he stressed on tax code reforms, reduced regulations, and review of certain trade deals.
However, others are still uncertain on how his proposed policies will impact private equity because of his bold executive orders. For example, the recent withdrawal of US from the Trans-Pacific Partnership may have lasting effects on portfolio companies of private equity groups that import or export products. Trump's administration is only in its dawn, and while it is still too early to foresee the entirety of his leadership, his takes on private equity clearly makes people anticipate his administration’s further effects on the said sector.
The Knowledge Group has assembled a panel of key thought leaders to provide the audience with an in-depth analysis of private equity under Trump administration. In this live Webcast, the speakers will help private equity companies and professionals understand the important aspects of this significant topic. They will also offer significant insights on what lies ahead Trump's administration and private equity.
Key issues that will be covered in this course are:
Summary of Trump's Private Equity Election Promises
Recent Executive Orders Affecting Private Equity
Latest Developments in Private Equity Under Trump
Regulatory Areas for Private Equity
International Regulatory Enforcement
Roadmap of Trump's Administration for Private Equity
