We've launched our latest research report 'Navigating a
shifting regulatory landscape'. We surveyed 115 alternative
investment fund managers from across Europe, North America and Asia
to find out their views on how AIFMD has impacted managers'
ability to market AIFs across Europe, how effective the Directive
has been and the challenges managers have faced.
Introduced in 2011, the Alternative Investment Fund Managers
Directive (AIFMD) was developed with a primary objective of
improving protection for alternative investors by insisting on
greater transparency around areas such as conflicts of interest,
valuations and liquidity profiles. The Directive was also intended
to remove elements of the systemic risk that alternative funds can
present to the European economy.
