Regulatory Landscape
The AIFMD (Alternative Investment Fund Managers Directive) is the primary regulatory framework, requiring manager registration, depositary arrangements, and investor reporting. SFDR (Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation) adds ESG disclosure requirements. National regulators (BaFin, AMF, FCA, AFM) provide additional oversight. Luxembourg's CSSF and Ireland's Central Bank are the dominant fund domiciliation regulators. MiFID II impacts distribution and investor classification.
