AIFMD Reporting Service
Providing Information Regularly about AIFM and AIFsThe Alternative Investment Fund Managers Directive (AIFMD) came into force on 21 July 2011, and EU Member States had to adopt it by 22 July 2013. The AIFMD is a legal framework that requires all EU registered and authorised Alternative Investment Fund Managers to follow specific, and somewhat complicated reporting procedures. This directive was implemented by the EU after the 2008 Financial Crisis in an attempt to manage systemic risk more effectively.
The aim of these reporting obligations is to provide information regularly about the Alternative Investment Fund Manager and the AIFs which it manages for supervisory purposes. The aforementioned Reporting Requirements are fulfilled by the filing of an Annex IV report, amongst others, within a specified time-frame. The frequency of these reporting activities can range from quarterly to annually depending on the size of the fund. This report includes information about the fund’s investment portfolios, liquidity, and risk exposures. The importance of the AIFMD is that it provides the Fund with a ‘passport’ which enables it to be marketed across the EU.
Conforming to these reporting obligations require a myriad of administrative tasks, so BOV Fund Services offers AIFMD reporting services both for “Full Scope” and for “
de minimis” structures.
