On 18 March 2026, the CSSF1 published a Communication2 to the investment fund industry in relation to the CSSF's reporting tools for the liquidity management requirements for Luxembourg-authorised alternative investment fund managers (AIFMs) that manage open-ended alternative investment funds (AIFs) and undertakings for collective investments in transferable securities (UCITS) introduced with the Amendment Directive,3 also known as AIFMD 2.04 and UCITS VI,5 (the LMT Communication). This requires that certain filings be made with the CSSF by the implementation deadline for the Amendment Directive of 16 April 2026.

For AIFMs this includes a classification of all the AIFs they manage as open-ended or closed-ended.
