Alternative Investment Fund Managers DirectiveResponding to the new reality |
|
As the global asset management prepares for the July 2013 implementation deadline of AIFMD, Deloitte conducted a survey of asset managers to determine how they plan to respond. The results illuminate key insights related to product development, distribution strategies, and implementation issues.
Key findings include
- More than two-thirds of the survey participants believe that AIFMD will reduce the competitiveness of the EU's alternative investment funds industry and will result in fewer non-EU managers operating in the EU.
- 72 percent of survey participants view AIFMD as a business threat. Smaller fund managers, including private equity and real estate are more likely to see AIFMD as a business threat. Those fund managers that regard AIFMD as an opportunity tend to be large (managing at least $1 billion of assets) and have an existing focus on onshore, regulated funds.
- According to survey participants the biggest concerns for fund managers are depositary costs, delegation, changes to contractual arrangements, and routes to market.
