This Ropes & Gray podcast series highlights developments in
Washington, D.C., affecting private funds and their legal,
regulatory and compliance obligations. In this second installment,
asset management partner Joel Wattenbarger and counsel David
Tittsworth pick up on their conversation from January 2019, when the U.S.
government was in partial shutdown, to discuss the aftermath of the

Commission and the Financial Stability Oversight Council. Topics
include Regulation Best Interest and related SEC initiatives;
legislative updates related to capital formation, data collection
and FinTech; recent developments related to the CFTC; and the
