No, we’re not talking about Denzel Washington’s recent upset of Casey Affleck in their fierce battle for the SAG Best Actor award (though that was quite a moment). In a month that has been marked by a U.S. inauguration, historic protests, and political turmoil, it is difficult not to feel a little overwhelmed. While there is much to discuss in this month’s Bulletin, we at AUM Law find that reviewing the OSC’s Investment Fund Practitioner is a reliable way to lower our resting heart rates in times of stress. And so we will begin there. Please take some deep cleansing breaths and enjoy.
