Focus Learn
- Fund manager duties: fiduciary duty, act in best interest, liable for fraud/negligence/misconduct/wilful default.
- Financial statements: Arabic, semi-annual (reviewed) and annual (audited) per SOCPA standards.
- Fund termination: 21 days' notice before intended termination; 5 days to notify if event triggers termination; 70 days for final report; 6 months to complete liquidation from fund expiry.
