Alternative Investment Fund Managers’ Directive 

The European Commission has proposed a Directive on Alternative Investment Fund Managers (AIFM) with the objective to create a comprehensive and effective regulatory and supervisory framework for AIFMs at the European level.

The Directive will provide robust and harmonized regulatory standards for all AIFM within scope and will enhance the transparency of the activities of AIFM and the funds they manage towards investors and public authorities.

 

Alternative Investment Fund Managers’ Directive summarizes the Directive and although the thrust appears clear, the final implications are not certain. This paper does identify the key issues, questions, and some thoughts on what one should do next.
