Dutch Regulator Makes AIFMD Notification Form For The Dutch Private Placement Regime Available

The Dutch Authority for the Financial Markets (AFM) has now published the notification form which non-EEA fund managers (non-EEA AIFMs) must use if they wish to rely on the Dutch private placement regime.

Non-EEA AIFMs that rely on the Dutch private placement regime do not require a license pursuant to the AIFMD, but are still subject to a number of transparency and ongoing requirements. Under the private placement regime investment funds (AIFs) may only be marketed to qualified investors in the Netherlands. The private placement regime is a separate transitional regime in addition to the general grandfathering regime that is available until 22 July 2014 to fund managers that were already active in the Netherlands prior to 22 July 2013.
