International Survey of Investment Adviser Regulation has been compiled to provide a practical & user-friendly comparative survey of the investment adviser regulatory systems in various countries around the world & in the European Union. A primary purpose of this major reference work is to help shape the direction of investment management regulation. It provides a very useful & comprehensive resource for all those involved in international investment. In view of the rapid pace of internationalisation of the world's securities markets, knowledge of regulatory schemes around the world is an absolute necessity for both legal practitioners & international money managers.
