The program will cover the documents that make up a high yield offering, with a focus on how to cull useful information from those documents, and will highlight the free and fee-based resources best suited to support the research needs in this practice area.

  • What is a high yield offering
  • Overview of high yield market
  • Private placements and public offerings
  • Description of notes
  • Mechanics of a high yield offering
  • Sources for general and market information

Library vandal to serve time

1 Reply

This is both a legal and a library related piece – in that a library was vandalized and the vandal was caught and will be serving time in jail.  The headline in the Idaho Stateman reads: Boise library vandal sentenced to a month in jail.  A woman vandalized the public library ten times in the course of a year by pouring condiments such as maple syrup, ketchup, and mayonnaise down the book-drop.  After the library set up a surveillance system they were able to catch the culprit and bring her to trial.  The prosecutor did not push for jail, but the judge determined that at least twenty-seven days in jail would be served.  Read the full story here.

New Treatise Available – Sovereign Wealth Funds

Leave a reply

PLI just published a new treatise entitled Sovereign Wealth Funds (SWFs).  Although they’ve existed for many years, the first decade of the 21st century saw a substantial surge in the assets of SWFs.  This, coupled with a more aggressive investment style, has resulted in a much greater awareness, by both governments and the public, of SWF activity.  In turn, this has generated an ongoing policy debate about the proper role of government regulation and taxation of these funds.

In Sovereign Wealth Funds, noted international tax lawyer Leonard Schneidman has assembled an array of essays, authored by a global collection of subject area experts, designed to explore three key aspects of SWFs: their regulation and governance, investment behavior, and taxation.  If your library or organization is interested in the SWF phenomenon and its practical legal, tax and financial implications—this is a valuable resource.
