Ravi’s number one priority is to simplify the complicated tax laws that clients face. He takes that goal personally, knowing that it’s his job to make sure clients do not struggle to understand or apply the tax rules effectively.

Ravi has more than 35 years of experience in the investment industry. He provides comprehensive tax services to registered funds, including some of the firm’s largest registered fund clients, unregistered products and investment advisers. Ravi specializes in new fund launches, master limited partnership (MLP) funds, commodity funds, exchange-traded funds (ETFs), fund-of-hedge-funds and funds with innovative strategies. As a former leader of a Big 4 firm’s Registered Funds Tax Practice, Ravi managed the delivery of all tax services to registered fund clients and ensured efficient and effective operation of the registered funds’ tax groups in multiple offices. He has worked with several fund complexes to establish tax policies and procedures involving complex areas such as derivatives, tax accounting for straddles and asset-backed securities, investments in partnerships and foreign capital gains taxes. When necessary, Ravi also fully supports and represents clients before the IRS, helping to obtain favorable tax rulings and resolutions to complex tax issues.
