Global Fund Distribution

As an Alternatives investment professional, marketing/offering your funds for distribution across Europe and further afield, you may need to notify your AIF(s) in the targeted host countries.

With the previous private placement regimes no longer viable, and ever-increasing scrutiny on reverse solicitation, the processes to be undertaken to market your AIFs are a lot more cumbersome than first imagined. Even when exclusively targeting professional investors, your AIF marketing documents must follow all local marketing and advertising requirements in all host countries. Ongoing regulatory reporting obligations include new product launches, prospectus updates, and financial statement submission; all of which are required to reassure investors of continued appropriate market authorisation of the funds in which they are invested.
