Abstract

Directive 2011/61/EU of 8 June 2011 on alternative investment fund managers (AIFMD) covers the management, administration and marketing of alternative investment funds (AIFs). AIFMD does not directly introduce European legislation for AIFs. Instead, it puts in place an authorisation and supervisory regime for alternative investment fund managers (AIFMs) managing AIFs in the European Union (EU). AIFMD establishes an EU-wide harmonised framework for monitoring and supervising risks posed by AIFMs and the AIFs they manage, and for strengthening the internal market in alternative funds. AIFMD is intended to improve investor protection by imposing enhanced transparency through new investor disclosure rules, mandatory reporting to competent authorities and new depositary standards. It aims at fostering efficiency and cross-border competition by deregulating national barriers and creating level playing fields through harmonised rules for AIFM managing and marketing AIF in the EU.
