Deloitte solutions for Alternative Investment Fund Managers (AIFMs) in Luxembourg |
The forthcoming transposition of the Alternative Investment Fund Managers Directive (AIFMD) into Luxembourg law raises questions about how well-prepared the industry is with regards to the new regulatory landscape.
To help Alternative Investment Fund Managers deal with these challenges, Deloitte Luxembourg has developed a tailor-made services offering for AIFMs, split into 13 solutions:
 |
Sustainable real estate - Responsible property investment preparing for the new requirements The evolution of the EU and local regulatory environment, together with the changes in market conditions, create major challenges for the real estate industry and has changed the context for real estate investment decision-making. |
 |
Debt funds and loan origination - Nature abhors a vacuum So do hedge funds and the like. Since the financial crisis, alternative investors have progressively been pouring their funds into quenching the unsatisfied thirst for credit. |
 |
Taxation of carried interest - Draft law Within the scope of the Draft Law of 24 August 2012 transposing the AIFMD into Luxembourg law, the government decided to modernise the Luxembourg legal framework and introduce related tax provisions–specifically relating to the tax regime of carried interest–to enhance the position of Luxembourg as a centre of excellence. |
 |
Infrastructure investment - A trendy asset class Infrastructure is a very broad term that encompasses all facilities that enable a country, a region, a municipality to operate economically. |
 |
Risk management for Alternative Investment Funds (AIF) - Preparing for the new requirements The AIFMD framework introduces stringent risk management requirements for alternative investment fund managers from the standpoints of risk governance and procedures, but neither the Directive nor the ESMA guidelines provide detailed implementation measures. |
 |
Process reviews and Target Operating Model - For real estate and private equity It is key to find the right operating model that is adapted to your strategy, organisation and culture, and be able to provide the necessary flexibility to not only fulfil your requirements today but also help you to further adapt in the future to ever changing regulatory, tax, legal and accounting obligations. |
 |
Valuation for Alternative Investment Funds (AIF) - Preparing for the new requirements The AIFMD introduces valuation requirements for AIFMs with the aim of ensuring that assets are valued consistently, impartially and with care and diligence. |
 |
New obligations and responsibilities of the depositary - Time for a depositary healthcheck The role of the Depositary bank in Luxembourg and across Europe is under scrutiny. UCITS Directives III and IV did not succeed in clarifying the roles and responsibilities of the Depositary, or moving them on with the evolution of the market. |
 |
The changing face of alternatives distribution - Deloitte fund registration The AIFMD will harmonise the alternatives industry across the European Union. As with UCITS, this involves a harmonised system of distribution via a passport. |
 |
Luxembourg partnership regime overhaul - Structuring opportunities ahead The modernisation of the partnership regime currently included in the legislative process in Luxembourg will offer a larger spectrum of structuring opportunities for alternative investment fund vehicles. |
 |
Alternative Investment Funds (AIF) - Remuneration policies A number of guidelines and recommendations have been issued in recent years by various authorities on the improvement of remuneration policies in the financial sector. |
 |
Hot accounting topics - For real estate and private equity Although the different steps taken so far towards convergence between IFRS and US GAAPs have been positive with regards to accounting and reporting practices across the globe, the correct application of standards and interpretations can nevertheless remain a challenging exercise. |
 |
SIF and well-informed investors The new Article 2 (3) of the amended SIF Law specifies that the specialised investment fund shall have the means necessary to ensure compliance with the requirements related to the definition of well-informed investors. |
