Abstract: 

U.S. financial market participants must be familiar with the basic regulatory structures of major non-U.S. jurisdictions both to fully comply with and anticipate legal developments in the U.S. and to make sure they are in a position to take advantage of opportunities arising from discrepancies among regulatory regimes. This article examines some of the latest financial regulatory developments emerging from the U.K., E.U., and elsewhere--including changes to basic U.K. regulatory structures, E.U. alternative investment fund regulation, and Basel III bank capital rules. The article concludes by identifying some key trends in non-U.S. reforms.
