AIFM Services Luxembourg
Your gateway to EU investors from anywhere in the world
What are AIFM Services?
To safeguard assets, every European alternative investment fund requires professional management. But setting up an alternative investment fund manager (AIFM) is time-consuming and costly, especially if you don’t know the regulatory landscape, and it can distract from the essential task of raising and investing capital. By providing tailored solutions from pre-launch services to regulatory reporting, Alter Domus keeps you moving forward. Domiciling in Luxembourg also allows non-European investment managers to access the EU investor base.

Alternative Investment Funds and AIFM Oversight
Alternative investment funds (AIFs) are collective investment structures used by alternative investment managers to pursue a range of investment strategies, including private equity, venture capital, private credit, and real assets. Under the AIFMD regulatory framework, each AIF must appoint an alternative investment fund manager (AIFM) responsible for portfolio oversight, risk management, and regulatory compliance.
Streamlining AIFMD Compliance
The Alternative Investment Fund Manager Directive (AIFMD) requires EU domiciled AIFs, as well as certain non EU alternative investment funds marketed in the EU, to appoint an authorised AIFM.
Operating under a third party AIFM model allows managers to meet these obligations without establishing an in-house AIFM. This approach can reduce time to market while maintaining the regulatory substance required under the AIFMD.
Unlock access to European investors with AIFM Services
Europe is expected to remain a key growth market for alternative assets. For non-European fund managers, a European-domiciled and EU compliant fund structure provides a recognised route to accessing investors within the European Economic Area.
Our AIFM services support managers from pre-launch through ongoing marketing and distribution, helping you reach EU professional investors efficiently.

What our Clients say:
Why Transfer Pricing is critical for Alternatives
Transfer pricing obligations affect every stage of the investment lifecycle. From fund structuring and refinancing to acquisitions and exits, documentation must not only comply with OECD BEPS rules but also withstand scrutiny from local tax authorities.
Without the right support, managers face:
Reduced investor returns from inefficient structures or incorrect valuations
Costly penalties and adjustments if reports are incomplete or late
Transaction delays when documentation is missing at closing

FAQs
Do I need a transfer pricing report if I already have a fund administrator?
Yes. Fund administration does not replace transfer pricing compliance. Regulators require standalone transfer pricing documentation to demonstrate compliance with OECD and local rules. Many mangers assume their administrator covers this, but it is a separate obligation. Alter Domus provides transfer pricing reports on a standalone basis, so managers can stay compliant without changing or restructuring their existing administration setup.
How quickly can a transfer pricing report be delivered for a deal?
Transfer pricing reports are normally completed within three weeks, depending on the complexity of the structure and the availability of information. At Alter Domus, our dedicated team can accelerate delivery when deadlines are tight, ensuring compliance without compromising quality.
What are the key transfer pricing requirements for cross-border funds in Europe?
European regulators require funds with cross-border operations to maintain OECD-compliant transfer pricing documentations, typically including a master file and local files, as well as support for intercompany financing arrangements. These obligations apply regardless of who administers the fund. At Alter Domus, we prepare this documentation in line with BEPS standards and tailor it to fund structures, including SPVs, so that it withstands both local audits and investor scrutiny.
