Wolters Kluwer continues to combine content from various parts of its reorganized US publications empire to produce, in this case an online database that is
a one-stop electronic resource for all of their research and practice needs with the Investment Management Integrated Library from Aspen Publishers and CCH, part of the Wolters Kluwer Law & Business group.
The CCH Mutual Funds Guide was previously a print-only product. Given that at least most, if not all, of the other CCH material is already online and presumably even the Aspen stuff is machine readable as it goes to the typesetter, the process, as it seems to this observer who has never actually done anything like that, involves mostly deciding what your market needs, and specifying the content to the computer guys.
“We’ve brought together resources that are the first choice of professionals in this field by combining the in-depth analytical content of the CCH Mutual Funds Guide with informative newsletters and definitive treatise materials from Aspen and made it available on the CCH Internet Research NetWork,” said Peggy Hayner, Wolters Kluwer Law & Business product manager.
The core materials include
* CCH Mutual Funds Guide – A comprehensive resource that provides the legal requirements, key contacts and ongoing developments that affect mutual funds and their operations through primary source information, analytical discussion and newsletter coverage. This invaluable reference provides the essential tools for understanding the complex and changing regulatory requirements in this area. It provides the full text of the principal securities laws and expert plain language explanations for important areas including: the Investment Company Act of 1940, the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, the Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. It also contains related regulations and forms as well as a vast archive of relevant SEC releases, no-action letters and court decisions. A newsletter component includes articles on recent regulatory, legislative, judicial and industry developments affecting the practice area including: SEC rulemaking; speeches and enforcement activities; corporate governance issues; accounting and financial reporting matters; international developments; and more.
* Investment Lawyer: Covering Legal and Regulatory Issues of Asset Management edited by Stephanie Djinis – A monthly newsletter that provides practical answers to complex questions plus up-to-the-minute reporting on regulatory and industry developments. This newsletter is the first and only legal publication devoted exclusively to investment management. It monitors all the key regulators, including the SEC, CFTC, DOL and IRS, as well as state regulators and Congress to keep practitioners up to date on the latest regulatory developments and concerns.
* Regulation of Money Managers: Mutual Funds and Advisers, 2nd Edition by Tamar Frankel and Ann Taylor Schwing – This treatise is widely regarded as the most comprehensive and penetrating analysis of the regulation surrounding investment advisers and companies. It keeps professionals apprised of all significant new and proposed SEC rules, no-action letters and interpretive releases as well as important cases and relevant regulation from other agencies.
* Broker-Dealer Law and Regulation, 3rd Edition by Norman S. Poser – This resource covers the full range of the law that governs the relationship between broker-dealers and their customers. Topics covered include: private rights of action, securities arbitration, mediation, regulation and compliance. In addition, it is the only available source that fully discusses breach of fiduciary duty and other possible state law claims.
* Fundamentals of Securities Regulation, 5th Edition by the late Louis Loss, and Joel Seligman – This resource offers expert analysis of every significant aspect of securities law and covers recent developments such as: the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and its impact on federal securities rules and regulations; amendment and interpretation of the SEC’s Management Discussion and Analysis; new insider trading rules; recent global research analyst settlements and related SEC, NYSE and NASD rules.
The publisher is offering Investment Adviser’s Legal & Compliance Guide by Terrance O’Malley, Investment Management Law and Regulation, 2nd Edition by Harvey E. Bines and Steve Thel, and Federal Money Laundering Regulation: Banking, Corporate, and Securities Compliance by Steven Mark Levy as optional titles in the electronic set.
The publisher is reluctant to discuss pricing, other than noting that the package price is less than buying the individual titles ala carte. You know what this means: use your negotiating skills before you let them close the deal. For more information contact your sales representative at 888-224-7377.
