    - Understand how the circular seeks to enhance investor protection: What procedures should be followed in the event of a NAV calculation error, non-compliance with investment rules and other errors?

    - Analyze how NAV errors and investment compliance breaches need to be handled in private assets funds/alternative investment funds: What are the particular challenges?

    - Learn how to comply with the new guidance in practice: By the end of the webinar, participants will be equipped with practical knowledge to ensure compliance with the new guidance and enhance investor protection strategies within their organizations.
