The 506 Debate: Settled or Still Evolving?

A year ago, the 506(b) vs. 506(c) conversation was one of the most hotly debated topics in the industry. Today, the dust has settled -- or has it? This returning session revisits the discussion with fresh perspective, examining what the market has learned now that more sponsors have made the transition to 506(c) and general solicitation has become standard practice. Panelists will discuss the real-world impact of social media and digital marketing on capital raising, whether 506(b) still has a meaningful role to play, and how due diligence officers should be thinking about each structure depending on the product and distribution strategy. If you attended the earlier sessions, come see how the landscaped has shifted. If you're new to the conversation, this is the perfect place to get up-to-speed.

Moderator: Tom Voekler, Passco Companies
Panelists: Karlton Kleis, Arete Wealth; Amy Arnold, Concorde Investment Services; Rhys James, Williams Mullen
