Best of the Web – August 2016
Welcome to the August 2016 BOTW. ACA does a nice job explaining how to implement GIPS, Stradley Ronon offers some strategies on dealing with the SEC, and Schulte advises on hedge fund seeding. We have also included articles on the fiduciary rule, pay-to-play, and Brexit. The fall is here, and with less than 4 months to make it happen in 2016, don’t let your knowledge fall behind. “Risk comes from not knowing what you’re doing.” (Warren Buffett)
