Progress made on Italy's LBO legal framework
The progress made over LBO-related issues follows on from further improvements to regulations concerning Italian closed-end funds. The Bank of Italy has in fact welcomed proposals put forward by AIFI that aim to conform the Italian structure to the widely used LPs of Anglo-Saxon origin. The proposal more clearly defines the institutional investor category and gives greater freedom to General Partners and Limited Partners to negotiate a fund’s terms and conditions. These provisions will clarify the distinction between retail and institutional investors and subject the two categories to very different regulations.
