Frequently Asked Questions

What is the SEC rule for gifts and entertainment?
The SEC prohibits investment advisers and their personnel from accepting gifts or entertainment that could create conflicts of interest or influence their decisions regarding fund transactions. To comply with SEC regulations, firms are required to implement comprehensive policies and procedures for disclosing, reviewing, and managing gifts and entertainment, often including pre-clearance processes, value thresholds, and centralized tracking systems.
Under a typical compliance program, gifts of nominal value (often around $100 or less) and promotional items with company logos are generally considered acceptable. Additionally, reasonable business meals and entertainment that have a legitimate business purpose, such as attending a sporting event with a client to discuss business matters, may be permissible as long as they are not excessive or too frequent.
Examples of gifts and entertainment can include items such as meals, tickets to events, travel expenses, and promotional items given or received in a business context. These can range from low-value items like branded merchandise to high-value offerings like luxury accommodations or exclusive experiences, all of which may require disclosure and review to ensure compliance with company policies and regulations.
Gifts and entertainment in business relationships can create potential conflicts of interest by influencing employees to act in breach of their duties or compromising their ability to make unbiased decisions. These conflicts arise when the acceptance of gifts or entertainment could compromise an individual's duty to act in the best interest of their company or clients, potentially leading to unethical behavior or the appearance of impropriety.
A gifts and entertainment policy serves to streamline and automate the process of managing gift requests and disclosures within an organization. It aims to mitigate risks associated with gifts and entertainment by providing a centralized platform for employees to submit requests, while enabling compliance teams to efficiently review, approve, or escalate transactions based on predefined thresholds and rules.
