AIFMD II in Practice: Regulatory Reform & Market Implications

Introduction

AIFMD introduced a pan-European regulatory system for the alternative investment industry in 2011. This is being significantly revised with the advent of AIFMD II. This new legislation has already been approved and Member States were required to transpose it into domestic law by 16 April 2026.

Those working in the alternative funds industry need to be aware of the changes this new legislation is bringing to ensure the AIFMs and AIFs they act for remain compliant. This session will explore the new requirements, highlight key elements and provide practical guidance on both the extent of these obligations and the steps to be undertaken to ensure compliance.
