Approval of Investment Advisory Agreements – Legal Requirements and Best Practices 

Authored by Carol Rose

Practus is proud to team with ISS-Corporate, a leading provider of 15(c) services to boards, for an upcoming webinar: Approval of Investment Advisory Agreements – Legal Requirements and Best Practices on July 10, 2025 at 11am PT / 2pm ET.

Best of Both Worlds: Legal Expertise & Data

Join ISS-Corporate’s Director of 15(c) Board Services, Melissa Noon, along with Practus Financial Services partner, Stephen King, for a discussion of the 15(c) process, including related disclosure issues and best practices. Moderated by Practus partner Chris Hayes, this webinar brings you the best of both worlds: a review of the applicable legal standards and best practices and ISS-Corporate expertise on providing data that assists boards in satisfying their duties in the 15(c) process.

Who should attend:

  • Fund attorneys
  • Corporate executives
  • Board members of registered investment funds
  • Compliance officers
  • Legal counsel involved in 15(c) contract renewals

The review and approval of investment advisory agreements is regarded as one of the most important responsibilities of a registered fund board, and the SEC has shown a willingness to bring enforcement actions when the process is flawed. Let our experts help you better understand how to avoid issues that may expose your board or investment adviser to legal or regulatory liability. Our panelists, Stephen King and Melissa Noon, have extensive experience advising funds and their boards on the 15(c) process.
