All rights reserved. 3 Where We Are Today…in Canada ■Investment advisers in Canada have historically been subject to a high level of regulation –Recent registration reform –Recent surveys/inspections by the securities regulators of hedge fund and other advisers ■As a result of the Dodd-Frank Act, Canadian asset managers may have to register with the SEC in order to advise U.S. investors in certain funds –Even if exempt from actual registration, there are still certain reporting and other requirements ■As a result of the Alternative Investment Fund Managers Directive, Canadian asset managers may have to register with individual E.U. states in order to accept E.U. based investors –Even if exempt under third country rules, there are still certain reporting and other requirements If you’re a Canadian asset manager with U.S. or E.U. investors (or plans to have some) your operating model is about to change significantly

All rights reserved. 4 Where We Are Today…in the U.S. ■Passage of the Dodd-Frank Act and the resulting SEC rule proposals will have a profound impact on the regulation of the investment adviser industry ■The broad scope of the Dodd-Frank Act and the SEC rules reaches beyond traditional investment advisers to managers of all asset classes, including private equity fund advisers, real estate managers, collateral managers for structured products, and others ■Regulatory developments outside of Dodd-Frank have also affected the regulatory environment for investment advisers ■The political support that drove passage of the Dodd-Frank Act, and continued demands for investor protection, are likely to maintain the current focus on robust financial regulation ■Regulators are responding to these demands with a new sense of empowerment and purpose in all areas of the financial industry, which will include private equity funds, real estate funds and other structured product ■The broad mandate to the SEC, CFTC, and other regulators for the implementation of the Dodd-Frank Act likely will contribute to a prolonged focus on financial regulation

All rights reserved. 5 Investment Adviser Registration in the Dodd-Frank Era The Act provides limited exemptions on which some advisers may be able to rely: ■Investment advisers that solely advise private funds with less than $150 million in U.S. Assets Under Management (AUM) ■Foreign private adviser exemption ■Investment advisers that solely advise venture capital funds ■Investment advisers to family offices

All rights reserved. 6 Investment Adviser Compliance in the Dodd-Frank Era Investment advisers required to register must: ■Develop a compliance program, including developing and implementing policies and procedures reasonably designed to prevent violations of the securities laws, conduct an annual review of those policies and procedures, and designate a Chief Compliance Officer ■Establish, maintain, and enforce a Written Code of Ethics, which must apply to the investment adviser’s personnel and must include provisions on standards of business conduct, compliance with the federal securities laws, reporting of personal securities transactions, and reporting violations of the Code ■Maintain books and records, including substantial records relevant to the investment adviser’s business ■Follow specific rules when entering into advisory contracts ■Disclose information about their advisory business, advisory personnel, fee arrangements, industry affiliations, and control persons. Additionally, investment advisers have a fiduciary duty with respect to their relationships with clients and will be subject to examination by the SEC

All rights reserved. 7 Investment Adviser Compliance in the Dodd-Frank Era: Systemic Risk Large portions of the Dodd-Frank Act are dedicated to provisions designed to help ensure the financial stability of the U.S. economy. Investment advisers to private funds will be required to retain records and make them available for inspection. These records, specific to each private fund advised by the investment adviser, will be required to include descriptions of: ■AUM and use of leverage, including off-balance-sheet leverage ■Counterparty credit risk exposure ■Trading and investment positions ■Valuation policies and practices of the fund ■Types of assets held ■Side arrangements or side letters whereby certain investors in a fund obtain more favorable rights or entitlements than other investors ■Trading practices ■Other information deemed necessary and appropriate

© 2011 KPMG LLP, a Canadian limited liability partnership and a member firm of the KPMG network of independent member firms affiliated with KPMG International Cooperative (“KPMG International”), a Swiss entity. All rights reserved. 12 Alternative Investment Fund Managers Directive (AIFMD) – What to think about ■Earlier drafts had very restrictive measures limiting the distribution of non-EU funds to EU investors ■Final rules effectively allow for continued distribution under existing private placement regimes of individual EU member states until at least 2018 –Regulatory exchange agreement must be in place between domicile of fund and manager and respective EU member state(s) –Domicile of fund and manager cannot be on FATF blacklist ■Final rules introduce reporting and disclosure requirements even for non- EU funds
