GUERNSEY: Revised AIFMD FAQs

Monday February 17 2014

The Investment Supervision and Policy Division of the Guernsey Financial Services Commission (FSC) has announced that the AIFMD FAQs have recently been updated.

The updates include the latest position on marketing into Greece and Bulgaria together with answers to questions the Commission has received on the treatment of pre-marketing under the AIFMD (Marketing) Rules, 2013 and the interpretation of Rule 5.3 of the AIFMD (Marketing) Rules, 2013.

It is hoped that the FAQs will provide a useful mechanism by which you can keep yourself updated with the Commission`s position on AIFMD, in particular the FSC would like to draw to your attention the information in respect of the EEA`s approach to third countries marketing into their jurisdiction. For example, the entry under the Netherlands states that the Guernsey will remain designated by the Netherlands Government as an equivalent country until 2018.
