Introduction to Alternative Investment Funds
Alternative investment funds (AIFs) are specialized investment vehicles designed to pool resources from investors to invest in a diverse array of assets, including private equity, venture capital, and real estate. These funds are typically managed by global asset managers and alternative investment managers who aim to raise capital from European investors and other professional investors. The role of the alternative investment fund manager (AIFM) is crucial in overseeing the AIF, ensuring it adheres to relevant regulations such as the Alternative Investment Fund Manager Directive (AIFMD). AIFM services, encompassing portfolio management, risk management, and other operational duties, are vital for the successful operation and compliance of AIFs, ultimately driving their success and growth.
Streamlining AIFMD Compliance
The AIFMD is a European Union (EU) regulation, requires EU domiciled AIFs to appoint an Alternative Investment Fund Manager. While there’s no getting around this requirement, Alter Domus can make the process less onerous and reduce time to market through our third-party AIFM services.
Unlock access to European investors with AIFM Services

For non-European fund managers, a European-domiciled and EU compliant fund structure offers a gateway to investors and assets within the European Economic Area. A passport to one of the world’s largest and most successful markets opens up a world of new investment opportunities. Our experts provide a comprehensive slate of services, from turnkey pre-launch to day-to-day marketing, to help you reach target EU investors no matter where you are.
