He works with mutual funds, exchange-traded funds (ETFs), closed-end funds, interval funds, fund-of-funds, funds with consolidated foreign corporations, master-feeder structures and Cayman Island-registered funds. He maintains significant expertise with the proper accounting and presentation of funds with various underlying investments, including foreign investments, life settlement contracts, REIT holdings, underlying funds, asset-backed securities and derivatives. John also has experience with accounting for and implementation of incentive fee arrangements, fulcrum fee arrangements, fund reorganizations, consolidations and master-feeder level allocation considerations.
