Benchmark: U.S. Investment Regulations for National Security Technologies

Take this benchmark to assess how much you would benefit from taking the course on U.S. Investments in National Security Technologies and Products in Countries of Concern. In a few minutes, you’ll see whether your instincts match the rule’s intent, who is truly in scope, and how your investment workflows may need to change.

What you’ll get from this benchmark: a quick read on your readiness to classify transactions (notifiable vs. prohibited vs. excepted), spot trade-offs (speed vs. oversight, flexibility vs. compliance burden), understand the knowledge standard and due diligence expectations, and anticipate real consequences (like divestment orders) if you misstep. You’ll also gauge how well you can leverage exceptions (e.g., passive securities), when a national interest exemption might be worth exploring, and where your public comments could productively shape the final rule.

How to use it: answer based on your current judgment, not a legal memo. If you hesitate, choose “gut-feel” answers, or find the trade-offs unclear, the course will help you build a durable framework for screening, documenting, and deciding. Results aren’t scored; they’re a self-check to reveal where the course can save you time, reduce risk, and improve decision-making before you deploy capital.

NOTE: Unless otherwise indicated, all Benchmarks are free of charge!
