Comprehensive AIFMD implementation — from initial licence application through ongoing compliance management. We cover the full lifecycle of the Alternative Investment Fund Managers Directive, including preparation for AIFMD II changes effective April 2026.
Applicable to: Hedge funds, private equity, real estate funds, fund-of-funds, and other alternative investment structures
The Alternative Investment Fund Managers Directive is the cornerstone regulatory framework for managers of non-UCITS funds in Europe. It covers authorisation, operating conditions, delegation, depositary requirements, leverage limits, transparency, and cross-border marketing — a broad and technically demanding regime.
Diletti has deep experience with AIFMD implementation for Dutch-based managers. We have supported AFM licence applications, designed risk management frameworks that satisfy both the letter and spirit of the regulation, structured depositary arrangements, and built Annex IV reporting pipelines. Our experience spans hedge funds, private equity, real estate, and fund-of-funds structures.
With AIFMD II entering into force in April 2026, managers face significant new requirements around liquidity management tools, loan-originating funds, delegation oversight, and reporting. We help you assess the impact and prepare your compliance infrastructure ahead of the deadline.
Full AFM authorisation support — programme of operations, organisational structure, initial capital and own funds calculations, fit-and-proper documentation, and regulatory dialogue management with AFM and DNB.
AIFMD-compliant risk management framework covering market risk (VaR, stress testing), credit risk, liquidity risk, counterparty risk, and operational risk. Includes risk limits, escalation procedures, and board reporting.
Depositary selection and arrangement structuring, safekeeping duties, cash flow monitoring, oversight obligations, and liability framework. Includes prime brokerage tri-party arrangements.
End-to-end Annex IV reporting setup — data sourcing, field mapping, XML generation, validation, and filing with AFM. Covers fund-level and manager-level reports on quarterly and annual cycles.
Delegation arrangements for portfolio management, risk management, and operational functions. Substance requirements, oversight frameworks, and ESMA guidelines on delegation compliance.
Gap analysis against AIFMD II requirements — liquidity management tools (LMTs), loan-originating fund rules, enhanced delegation reporting, and updated Annex IV fields. Transition planning for April 2026 deadline.
