AIFMD

Does the Alternative Investment Fund Managers Directive apply to you?

It’s not just asset managers who need to take AIFMD into account; AIFMD applies to every entity that manages what the AIFMD has defined as alternative investment funds. This concept has been defined very broadly and as a consequence if you are launching an investment structure even small size vehicles or if you are raising capital from at least two investors, you need to consider how such investment scheme is structured and consider whether AIFMD applies.

Looking to enter the investment management space? Make sure your investment schemes are compliant with AIFMD from the outset. Refinancing your business?

With the Directive introduced late into Belgian legislation, numbers of entities in the country aren’t aware that they fall within the criteria and have obligations under AIFMD. If you’re not compliant, you could face significant fines and even administrative sanctions. Act now and you can prevent that.
