EUROPE: AIMA publishes new AIFMD implementation guides

Tuesday April 22 2014

The Alternative Investment Management Association (AIMA) has published a new set of practical guides for hedge fund managers wishing to comply with the Alternative Investment Fund Managers Directive (AIFMD).

The new guides cover some of the most important jurisdictions for the industry, including the UK, Ireland and Luxembourg, whilst building upon the generic AIFMD implementation guide that AIMA published in 2013.

The new guides are intended to help managers understand how the AIFMD will impact their business and set out some of the strategic and operational choices that they face in order to respond to and comply with the AIFMD as transported into national law.

The UK guide is targeted at managers either already present in the country or considering establishing a business there, while the Irish and Luxembourg guides are most relevant to managers considering setting up funds in those jurisdictions.
