Essential Antitrust #40: America’s impending outbound investment controls: what investors need to know

Two former CFIUS Chairs discuss Treasury’s recently released draft rules and impending U.S. capital controls.

In this episode of our Essential Antitrust podcast, host Jenn Mellott is joined by Freshfields’ Aimen Mir and Brian Reissaus, former CFIUS Chairs, to analyze some breaking news out of the U.S. Department of the Treasury: draft rules operationalizing controls on outbound investment. Though targeted at China, the rules generate new risks and potential consequences for U.S. investments in Chinese companies or in companies and funds that themselves have operations or investments in China.

You can also read a written summary of the proposed regulation, key takeaways, and next steps for investors on our blog, “A Fresh Take.” See the post here.
