Nathan Greene (New York-Investment Funds) and associate Will
Forster (New York-Investment Funds) co-authored an article, titled
"Political Contribution Rules for Investment Advisers: A
Question of Constitutionality," that was published in
Bloomberg BNA's Securities Regulation & Law Report
on April 20.
In their article, the authors examine Investment Advisers Act
Rule 206(4)-5, which regulates campaign contributions by investment
advisers. As a result of the rule, many large investment adviser
firms ban state and local political contributions by their
employees. Although initially receiving little scrutiny, the rule
has recently been subject to constitutional challenges at the same
time that the SEC has brought action to enforce it.
The content of this article is intended to provide a general
guide to the subject matter. Specialist advice should be sought
