Streamlining AIFMD Compliance
The AIFMD (Alternative Investment Fund Manager Directive), 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
With analysts expecting continued growth in alternative assets under management in the coming years, Europe is set to be at the forefront of that growth. 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.
