Co-investment: Why Canadian GPs should take note of SEC’s guidance

Co-investment was a hot topic at last month’s PartnerConnect East 2018 conference in Boston, writes Shahir Guindi, national co-chair of Osler, Hoskin & Harcourt LLP. That’s because guidance from the SEC on how co-investment opportunities should be allocated by U.S. private equity firms has big implications for American GPs and their investors. In a PE Hub Canada feature article, Guindi argues that while SEC guidance, which calls for written policies and transparency on how GPs designate co-investment rights, does not technically apply in Canada, Canadian GPs should consider proactively how they might comply with the framework.
